I take issue with your statement that the western world as a whole is opening up full blast, at least as far as their national borders are concerned. For example, the US still hasn't lifted the Presidential Proclamations banning all Europeans including those from the UK from entering. On the other hand, if anything the UK has strengthened its border controls compared to 2020 (not that it has done any good in terms of stopping Delta).
Yes the EU is experiencing a purple patch right now in terms of virus control so they are thinking of relaxing border controls, but give it a month and they'll be up to where the UK is at the moment.
