Just guessing at why it was maybe left in at the time
I think that's it, but he would also have been mindful of the political declaration that both sides wanted a no tariff trade deal. If the EU does not renege on that, we won't have a problem. Boris is acting now because the EU is threatening a no deal. Clearly, he thinks that by threatening this, the EU will have less of a lever.

It's just politics, no need to blow this out of all proportion, although we all know that some remainers do like to have their fun!
