Even if rapid PCR testing supply were an issue, those tests could be reserved for travellers with an onward connection. Those whose final destination is the point of entry and vicinity can have the swab at the airport and await their result in the safety of their home quarantine.
I'm sure airports and airlines would be more than happy to help with that if entry restrictions were relaxed and more people could travel. After all, the government has had a lot of experience making businesses do the work for them over the last year.
