> encourage people to just use makeshift masks
They correctly estimated that compliance with encouragements would be very low (see e.g. current encouragements not to travel to see family at holidays).
If you tell people something that can keep them safe is available on Amazon for $25, all the encouragement in the world isn't going to keep that product from selling out.
