Not needing it will be a nice little change of pace, but I don't think this is some huge game changer either and it won't solve issues with airport staffing as some seem to think.
Who thinks it will solve airport staffing issues? No clue why anyone might think that. And I think it is huge for returning Americans, there are plenty of tales of people failing a test and being stuck overseas for ~11 days and the associated misery with obtaining recovery letters, accommodation, expenses, and so on.
