In a democracy, the government represents the will and the interests of the citizens in that country. If UK citizens don't want such laws, they can always protest, at the voting booth or in the streets.
It's not the job of multinational companies to have principles regarding the citizens of a country. And indeed, they can comply with the law, or GTFO. And in case they get out, it won't be because of principles, but rather because users of other countries may leave them in case they install backdoors. It's simple economics, and that's good actually, as people in general don't want to be governed by multinationals.
