The UK is surrounded by foreign airports. If the aircraft's flight plan would have taken it over the UK (e.g. Paris to Dublin, Dublin to Copenhagen) even a crash a few minutes after take-off could impact the UK. Banning it in the airspace makes it so flight plans cannot even place the aircraft there.
If you're going to ban something at all, you might have well do it correctly. There's no value in half measures, or allowing loopholes.

I’m guessing some countries are waiting for some flights to takeoff so they can ground them without stranding too many of their nationals.
