Because the EU wants AstraZeneca to export doses made in Britain to the EU.

In order to fulfil the provisions of the contract the company willingly signed, and not out of spite for Britain, as far as I'm aware.

Correct. Just pointing out why Britain is relevant.

And has AstraZeneca claimed that this would cause them to fail on their commitments to the UK? Or are we presuming that because it benefits some other agenda?

I believe the UK has made the claim that they have exclusive contractual right to domestically-made vaccines until a certain point. Not sure if AstraZeneca corroborated.
