Yes. The EU will make things hard on the UK on purpose, to make an example of them. Hopefully is causes the UK to fold and remain, or exit and fail. If the other nations get out of line, they will know what they potentially face this way, so they are likely to stay put. If the EU cared about the UK and it's people and democracy, it would fold and make it easy for them, but they aren't. Who's the good guy and who's the bad guy?

Honestly the EU has been soft on the UK.
This deal is designed in the hopes that the UK takes it and stays rather than crash out in a hard brexit.

Im not sure where people get the idea that the EU is purposefully makeing a exsample out of them.

Possibly comes from the belief before the Brexit vote that the UK was owning all the trump cards and that the EU would come and beg for a deal, but reality got in the way of that almost immediately. The fact that the UK isn't allowed to cherry-pick thus comes off as harsh for those who had that belief before the referendum.
