That is, to be honest, is the only real reason they want us to remain a member.
The EU will grant every extension if possible. They don't want to take the blame for the consequences of a no deal brexit. That in itself should tell you something.

Do you have any idea of the amount of work (and money) it will cost the do that again in case the UK stays any longer? Internally there are factions at work that want you out as soon as possible. Your lingering about upsets the normal work scheme for both civil administrators and political directors.
You totally misjudge the worth of the UK contribution to the EU, both financially and otherwise.

Yeah you're absolutely right.
The 100 billion trade deficit the UK has can't be replaced by the broken economies of the EU. Germany in recession means the 26 other countries will suffer greatly. The EU is a graveyard of economic and political failure.
Out we go !

The EU will do likewise but may encourage companies to relocate if the EU is their largest market

Our biggest market is outside the EU and it continues to go that way
The UK outside the EU will not be bailing it out either. Not again.
Out we go !

Smaller percentages went to Africa (2.3%), Oceania (1.5%) led by Australia and New Zealand then Latin America (1.3%) excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean.
This table over 2017 tells the same story.
