It didn't have to be though. The vote isn't legally binding so they can still do whatever they like at this stage, and they could use that as justification if they really wanted to. They won't of course.

There will be a general election quite soon i think,then the parties can define their manifesto on the Article 50 matter and let the voters decide accordingly. Then the winner has the mandate to implement their manifesto.

Until then i can't see article 50 being signed so we are still in the EU. Just in a really poor position and the economy faces damage.

Meanwhile the brexiters are doing more back peddling than a clown on a unicycle.
