I thought you were talking about Fibre To The Premises for a second and was going to fight you.
My take, for what it's worth, is that we don't even have FPTP in the UK, we have Winner Takes All, since they don't even need to get 50% to win, they just need to be the most popular which could mean 21% of votes with four similarly-popular opponents.
WTA/FPTP asks the question "who is the most popular?"; AV asks "who can the voters agree to compromise on?"; STV asks "who best represents the voters?"

That's exactly what FPTP is - the candidate who gets the largest number of votes wins, regardless of whether their vote share is 1% or 51%. It's horribly undemocratic.
Euro adoption is a red herring. Plenty of EU member states are conceptually signed up to joining the euro at some point in the future and have no intention of ever doing anything about that - it's pure symbolism.
It would need to stay at these numbers for the next ten years, politicians from all parties would need to start waxing lyrical about EU membership through at least one election cycle if not two. The degenerate eurohating media would also need to be lobotomized somehow.
Until that happens the EU won't touch UK membership with a shitty stick.

The number of voters believing Brexit was the wrong idea have consistently exceeded those believing it is the right idea in polling since about mid-2017. We're already 6 years into your 10.
The reason there was so much clamour for a second referendum in 2017-19 (a manifesto policy of parties accounting for >50% of the votes cast at the 2019 general election) is because the polling consistently showed Remain would have won it.
Polling numbers showed a 50/50 split in intent to vote back in 2016.
We have increased from 50% wanting to remain to 60% wanting to go back? It doesn't feel like good enough numbers to convince anyone that enough has changed.
