Part of me wonders whether that's deliberate. They realised there was a growing discontent with the union, Brexit brought about the realisation that countries would want to leave and now the MEPs and EU government officials and what not have realised that making the EU a positive thing to be part of is crucial to its future success.

Or cynically these, or similar, things were already tabled and the UK elite felt that would give the demos too much power/freedom and so decided to nip it in the bud, retaining a greater share of the local (to the UK) power structure. It must be much easier for the plutocrats to procur the political positions they want in the UK when [liberal] European politicians can't intefere.

With the exception of this news the other things OP mentioned have been being worked on for several years. It's just that anytime this stuff is passed member states are given a couple of years to implement it. Completely unrelated to Brexit.
