Because those would be breaking up the unions of those countries. It's no different morally or philosophically from Switzerland leaving the EU.

Say what? Switzerland isn't in the EU, how can it leave?

It has treaties, but not membership. That doesn't make it "leaving" if they annul the treaties.

This was the OP:

> It wouldn’t be full Chexit. Just renegotiating and then rejecting the Schengen chapter. It would then be up to the EU to execute its Guillotine clause.

My terminology was matching what was used here.

Sorry, nobody in the know would interpreted "Chexit" to mean "leave the EU" for the obvious reason that Switzerland is not in the EU.
This is pointlessly argumentative, but I'm just going to continue having a conversation using the terminology brought up by the OP and what I interpreted them to mean. It seems to be working just fine for us.
