Probably because the EU version of a free port is nothing like the definition of a free port anywhere else in the world.
You might want to Google up why we don't have any free ports in the UK anymore. You could always email Boris I'm sure he would be glad to explain it to you.

It's music is set to a Schiller poem and it's most famous line is Alle meschen werder brüder (all men will become brothers). Which is of course something the british carry in their hearts.

Those countries with EU free trade, (Japan, Canada, South Korea etc) already benefit from 0% tarrifs so there is no advantage of having the free port in the first place.
Thats why we do not have "free ports" anymore in the EU - I think the UN declared this as well, so it's not just me saying that. This resulted in the UK not bothering to renew any of the licenses for our existing "free port in names only", such as Tilbury about 6 years or so ago.
Those "free ports" that are in the EU currently were set up before the countries joined the EU in the first place - they are as useless as ours were before we stopped licensing them.
So, in short, the link you shared backs up my argument rather than yours - I take it you haven't done your research and read it properly ? It is dated 2018 and describes the advantages of the UK having free ports post Brexit like we see in countries such as the USA. The reason being is that free ports in the EU are not like free ports anywhere else in the world - just like I said.
