Nah, you're making it more significant than it really is and being a bit of a drama queen. Entering the EU was complicated because that's the nature of these sorts of negotiations. Take a look at how long it takes any two countries to agree a trade deal, then imagine that across a much larger number of countries with different cultures, governments etc etc
Extracting yourself from something that is very complicated is very complicated. It says nothing about our democracy, it was just always going to be very hard of have a very large number of potential outcomes.
