They got sick of the open borders, terrorist attacks, and funding most of what they didn't use. I like that 360 billion bill Trump gave to Merkel for all the NATO spending the US provides. You think nothing is changing in the EU? Look to Germany, Merkel will be lucky if she survives her election, Hollande is basically out, the nordic nations have already elected far right parliaments. Things are changing for sure, why didn't you mention that you can't travel openly anymore in the EU? That your nation id doesn't provide free border crossing anymore?
If other countries offered their people the chance to vote to stay IN or get OUT, The EU would collapse overnight. It's only because the very Right Wing are pushing to leave that the people don't get the chance to vote.
