The current prime minister of the uk was not elected for the position, they were given it by virtue of leading the party that won the most seats, the leadership of which was not voted for by the general public.

Yes, but people know who the head of the party was, and they knew who their local MP would be.

People dislike changes of party leadership by the party in power between elections because they get someone they did not vote for.

It is also only one layer removed from the people directly voted in. The EU Commissioners are another layer or too removed from who people voted for.

EU commissioners have no voice of their own, they are simply a vassal of the elected government of their country.
