Because in 2019 everyone trades with everyone. The only people that don't trade together and help each other out are hostile nations. Particularly ones that commit human rights violations regularly. Does that describe UK nations?
For what reason does the EU have to be hostile and not help out the UK when they go independent?
Treating the UK like a bordering friend is standard, not special treatment.

I dont know about other countrys, but the EU dont trade with everyone. It was that way before Brexit already. And I belive the UK knew this also before the Brexit.
The EU set up some standarts (regulations) to protect their citizens.
Like, you are not allowed to sell products in the EU which use cheap and harmful plastic.
What guarantee does the EU have that the UK are not buying cheap plastic from China and re-sell it in the EU?
Trade-deals are way more complex than you can imagine. This is not some kind of computergame like Civilization 6 where you make a deal by doing 10 clicks.
And btw, the EU really likes to have a trade-deal with the UK, but it wont change their rules for the UK. It will treat the UK the same way they treat other non-EU countrys who like to join the singelmarket ( like Norway, Iceland, Switzerland etc.)
For me it sounds fair.
