UK has been changing laws in the past few years so that bikes must be fully considered legitimate traffic by other drivers. It makes sense to increase the expectations on cyclists to actually act and have the same responsibilities as traffic too, rather than a weird hybrid. All of this is in lieu of just creating decent cycle infrastructure, which the UK is no longer capable of doing since it's a developing nation larping as an imperial power.
Not too terrible?
