Yes, they were. Provide evidence if you think otherwise because I distinctly recall British people living in the EU outside of the UK being allowed to vote in that referendum.
Which is why the total number of UK citizens living in what is now the EU is irrelevant. Many of them could and did vote in the referendum.
Our citizens in the EU were given a say. That was democracy. The ones that left the UK so long ago that they weren't considered active participants in UK affairs didn't get a say, and that too is democracy. They chose to leave the UK, I have no time for their complaints that the UK chose to leave them.
