Worth noting that local registration (padrón) is a requirement in Spain for all residents, including EU resident citizens, and also that there was 11+ months notice before this agreement came into force (if you don't want to count the 4.5 years notice since the referendum).
Meaning, people who were present in Spain but not legally resident could have chosen to "move" from the UK to Spain at any point until Dec 31, 2020, just by registering at the town hall like they were supposed to all along.
Your description of heavy paperwork seems to be a highly exceptional case which allows people who didn't register (but can prove they were resident) to now appeal.
