I think getting excited over the performative noises the respective parties make outside of internal negotiations is like getting excited over the banter boxers make before a fight.
I suspect, like the boxers themselves, those involved are on more amicable terms than the audience might suspect or want to believe.
The public framing of this as a big fight might help Boris Johnson sell any concessions to people if it appears he 'stuck it' to the EU whereas the EU might find any concessions easier to sell if they are seen to stick to their guns.
A good public fight isn't always bad for those involved. If it's anything like political punditry it's quite profitable.
