The "hard remain" option would definitely have lost. The EU is not all that popular even among people who voted remain. Rather like the "oh well, Clinton if I must" voters in the US.

It would have been interesting to see a three-option ballot under runoff voting, but those are completely alien to the UK system.

For some reason we have to stick with these archaic systems that produce perverse results...

The same reason anybody stays with any archane system: entrenched interests.
