From what I have read, Ofcom has received complaints about Twitch and their requirements under the Online Safety Act to keep underage individuals safe from adult and harmful content - including one from a prominent campaigner against child predators. This could escalate if Ofcom act, at least from a UK perspective.
Wouldn't even be mad if Twitch and all of social media by extension range banned the UK.
Would run the risk of the government attempting to step in, but that always simply ends up being some poorly veiled cronyism plot to gut the financing while delivering a barely functional product, so still wouldn't actually leave a working setup.
If it were just Twitch, the Government wouldn't care, they'd just tell people to get off video games and get a girlfriend. If their parent company pulled out of the UK however...
The rest of the world isolating the UK and hitting its economy is going to be the only way that the Government will listen. Sadly, the people being given airtime are the people who say the Government are not going far enough with safety. This is a country where the Covid inquiry is likely to rule that we need to lockdown faster, harder and keep restrictions permanently.

honestly, the easiest solution is to tell the UK people "your government sucks, that's why we're IP banning all of the UK"
same as they should do to europe the next time the eurotrash tries to fuck them
