Considering Davis has already said this will be the end of his political career, I'd go with it's because they don't support a super soft brexit.
Tbh, no one on either side of the debate should support it. It's a mess. No idea why the tories decided May was the way to go, she was always a Remainer and now she's trapped herself in a corner, wanting to deliver a brexit without the brexit, which is the worst of both options.
Davis is quitting because he's principled in that regard, but Boris? He's the worst sort of person, a political opportunist and manipulator who doesn't care about anyone except himself. He is a disgrace.
Ending the free movement of people to curb immigration was one of the key reasons people voted Brexit, I think May has been pragmatic in the realisation that we won't get everything we want from the negotiations and has prioritised certain areas as a result. It's fantasy land to think we can get everything and taking that line will almost certainly result in a no deal scenario, which is far worse for us than for the EU.
I think Michael Gove would be a great choice for next PM as a prominent Brexiteer with a liberal streak. He could bring together both sides of the conservative party a lot better than May in my opinion. I'd really fear for the future of this country if either Boris and Rees-Mogg became PM, they are far too divisive and would make terrible leaders.
