Then why did the Tory UK government propose youth mobility schemes to some EU countries?

You have misinterpreted the situation. The EU wants to make an agreement to include all 27 EU members but the UK do not want such an agreement and has never sought such an agreement.  The EU thought there was an opening after the UK made agreements with no EU countries.   The UK government's position is perfectly clear and that is they are only prepared to make agreements with individual countries.

You are the one who has misinterpreted the situation. It was the UK government who first proposed a youth mobility scheme. They may be unrealistic in their hope that it would allow them to undermine the integrity of the EU single market[1] but it was they who first proposed allowing some freedom of movement. Having demonstrated that they know some form of freedom of movement with the EU is in this country's interest, it will only be a matter of time before they accept that it will have to be with all EU countries.

 

[1] And let's face it, every time they have tried to undermine the EU single market they have failed.

The UK has rejected a EU offer that would make it easier for people aged between 18 and 30 to study and work abroad in the wake of Brexit.

The European Commission had said the deal would be a limited arrangement, not a restoration of free movement.

But No 10 has rejected the offer, stating "free movement within the EU was ended".

The UK already runs schemes with some non-EU countries to allow people to come to the UK for up to two years.

It says it is open to extending that to individual EU member countries, rather than throughout the EU.

"We are not introducing an EU-wide youth mobility scheme - free movement within the EU was ended and there are no plans to introduce it," a government spokesperson said on Friday evening.

Read the whole of it yourself - particularly this bit:

In a policy document, the European Commission said it was stepping in after the UK approached several unnamed EU countries last year to discuss individual deals.

The UK government first proposed mobility deals, the EU's proposal is a response to that.

 

Sorting out the issues around borders/custom checks between RoI, NI and GB demonstrated that the UK tries to have it's cake and eat it and eventually accepts it can't. The same will happen with this.
