That was just inexperience with referendums from UK politics, if I remember correctly it was their first one in their history, right?
The referendum was very generic, while in this case it was very specific, do you want the gigafactory to extend at the cost of the forest?
Also in Italy when we do referendums they have multiple questions that divide the bigger issue in smaller problems, so that overall you can build the solution quite "representatively"
What the Brexit referendum should have been is what was voted on parliamentary votes afterwards on how to implement it

Third in my lifetime, I also saw the Scottish independence referendum and the "should we replace FPTP voting with something else?" referendum. There was also a referendum about the predecessor to the EU, a bit before my time.
