You claim many reasons, but offer only one: Innovating without interference from the EU. This is however far from reality. The UK even once it leaves for real, will still be affected by EU regulations, but now without being able to directly influence them. At this point it is unclear what kind of trade agreements the UK will have with the EU, but even if it will do a radical separation (i.e., remove free trade) it will still be affected by EU regulations if there is to be any economic relations.

The cookie law is of course utter nonsense, but it will not go away with the Brexit: https://www.cookielaw.org/blog/2016/6/27/brexit-and-the-cook...

I fully expect UK companies to ignore the EU GPDR assuming it's not passed into law due to Brexit, and gain significant competitive advantage over EU software firms as a result. I expect the EU will react by not really enforcing it to try and win back the firms that will leave.
