I think a key issue is that the trade deals are not rolled over indefinitely. As we're a smaller player than the EU, we stand a chance of getting a poorer deal or no deal at all (hopefully less common) when they're up for renegotiation. In terms of what we can offer in trade deals to other countries, our hands are tied due to the need to have no border between Northern Ireland and GB and Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The sovereignty box may be ticked but the reality on the ground is somewhat different.

The "sovereignty box" stands on its own and is not linked to other consequences.
All this boils down to the Remainers wishing to have preserved the then status quo (disregarding the 'ever closer union' stuff) versus the Leavers wishing to have UK sovereignty and expecting a competent government to facilitate growth of the economy.
