Gunna suck to live in the UK when everyone else in the world is getting Xbox and call of duty and your left out in the cold, gloomy, rainy hellscape known as the UK. MS will simply move on without the UK. They may even move MS as a whole out, not just Xbox. Enjoy your Linux and battlefield!

This absolutely has zero chance of happening. Can't pull Activision-Blizzard out of UK without pulling the whole of Microsoft out of UK and they'd incur massive fines. They could attempt something called "Ring-Fencing" but it's an extreme longshot and extremely unlikely to happen but also the time for remedies is over, Microsoft needs to beat them now in CAT and hope CMA changes their mind which is extremely unlikely.

Microsoft also has defence contracts with UK, not to mention the whole backbone of the NHS is Windows based, it's not worth entertaining this scenario because it won't happen, Microsoft would put themselves in a political shitstorm of epic proportions, it wouldn't only be the UK who tells them to piss off after that but also Europe and USA, to cripple a countries infrastructure because you didn't get your way will not go down well with anyone.
