Why has JIT broken down? Brexit. and maybe...
- post covid demand spike (eg raw building materials; wood, steel concrete )
- long term declining HGV job numbers (job conditions, ageing workforce)
- lack of new drivers due to covid stopping testing
- tax reform (HMRC)
- global transport issues (container rates & movement)
- global manufacturing issues (semiconductors, PPE, vaccines)
Moving away from JIT is the future. It will need a the modern day consumer to become less of a buyer/capitalist and accept that 4 types of tomatoes on the shelf and non next day delivery on tat from a sweat shop is OK.

Moving away from JIT is our future- and it will, as you say, reduce choice, increase costs and reduce competition whilst driving away inward investment (for example Honda).

Meanwhile, for the EU nothing has changed.
