The question is answered in the comment. Laws protect people from themselves in many cases. Even though experts were ignored back at 11/2019, it is still relatively new to the general public. It took years to get laws about smoke-free areas. If CV continues for 1 to 4 years (as some predict) mask and glove laws will be common as speed bumps. Note if only 60% of people wore masks the CV problem would dissolve to zero. Google that.
