I'm a little bit in the opposite camp. I live in the UK and have lived here for a total of more than 10 years in the last 20, but I have a EU passport. I would not say that I feel that I'm British, but I have strong ties with the country and plan to keep it my home for a good chunk of my future (though not my whole future necessarily).
I believe I qualify for British Citizenship, and I'm currently debating with myself whether to apply. It's kinda a no-brainer from a practical point of view - it will allow me to come and go as I please, but even though I would not lose my EU citizenship in the process, it has prompted some feelings in my where I have come to consider where I belong and what exactly I feel.
I think Citizenship is, whether you like it or not, one of those things that are really important for one's self understanding. Like the author, I feel European first and foremost I think, and Brexit and the way it was carried was cataclysmic for that identity if you live in that country.
