The reason to wear a mask is to protect others as much as to protect yourself. How is that unreasonable?
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.
