Indeed I was thinking that! Whilst the British passport has lost a major benefit that it previously had (that being able to move, work and live freely across the EU/EEA) in terms of international travel generally it remains extremely strong with the ability to travel to dozens of countries visa free, with visa on arrival or quickly and cheaply apply for a permission/visa online before arriving (such as to enter the US). Even those handful of countries that we do need to apply for a visa before travel most of them are going to be fairly straight forward. It's really only the likes of Russia, China, Iran or North Korea where its tricky.If you're choosing to value the passport by how many countries it gives you FOM to live in without applying for a visa first, then you're talking about its value to only a tiny minority of people. The vast majority of people use their passports simply to go on short holiday or business trips abroad, and for those people, the British passport remains of very similar value in Europe to a passport from most EU countries, since it still gives comparable freedom to make those trips.
And in international terms, the UK passport remains much more 'valuable' than passports from the majority of countries, in terms of giving easy access to visiting a large number of countries across the World.
I think sometimes people don't realise just how lucky we are in the UK in just quite how easy it is for us to travel across the whole world. Certainly entering the EU is now more painful than it was before and that's extremely frustrating (even more so when you travel with someone who still has an EU passport and they breeze through immigration
