This is mostly because of inclusion in EU; the EU is able to negotiate visa policies for their citizens as a block instead of individually.

Oh great. Another thing to look forward to after Brexit.

As a Brit I'm really hoping Jacob Rees Mogg has a few disastrous holiday visa experiences in his near future.

doesn't the UK negotiate its own visa situations with other countries? For example, it's opted out of of Schengen (along with Ireland).

it's even mandatory, bilateral treaties are mostly forbidden.

I'm not so sure, IIRC Polish and Romanian citizens need a visa for visiting the US even though they are both EU members and US citizens are allowed to visit both visa-free.

This should not be downvoted. In practice it's not the case. However, EU negotiates on behalf of EU, not individual countries.
