I see no reason to think those people believe it's necessary to wear them in an empty street, they are just wearing them because it's easy to put on and the are heading somewhere it's crowded. I wouldnt necessarily wear a mask in an empty street but it doesn't bother me in the slightest just like wearing shirts and pants don't. So many of them are likely just putting it on like all other articles of clothes when going out. Maybe you feel they are uncomfortable things to wear if you don't have to, but for many people they simply aren't.
