All the arguing and finger pointing can then cease.
So why aren’t people doing that, what are their motives?
Because your premise is wrong. The rationale behind wearing a mask includes protecting other people
from the mask-wearer. It's not all about the mask-wearer protecting themselves.
There's plenty of debate about whether or not there is any significant protection, and whether or not that protection is worth it given all of the other things that surround mask-wearing. But if your premise is wrong, then it undermines all subsequent reasoning.
