I live in the US but have family in the UK that I would dearly like to visit them, especially my parents! However, until I do not have to self-isolate upon my return to the UK then there is absolutely no point in coming. I don't have a spare two weeks worth of leave to sit in a hotel in splendid self-isolation before I can start visiting family and friends and enjoying my holiday. A fourteen day self-isolation period is a significantly long time! Obviously, it's less of an issue if you're a UK resident and you're self-isolating in your home, and can work from home but for those of us for whom the UK isn't home it makes travel almost impossible.
