Late application could also result in missing the deadline. and the Spanish Authorities have no reason to treat them leniently especially when they voted to leave the EU.

Just found this article from 2019 which shows the mindset of expats at that time.

I am also wondering if other UK-expats living in France/ Portugal and other EU countries could face the same fate.
I suspect those living in France are more used to bureaucracy and form-filling than those in Spain and hance are better prepared.
