Even with the Boris win, there was the great will and optimism to "get brexit done". There isn't a sniff of a similar effect this time round
The only thing that you're not taking into account is just how much the public despise Sunak.

In particular the fact that the general public nor the Tory voters wanted him as their leader, but was installed as the countries leader against most people's wishes, really hasn't helped his popularity.
