There wasn't poor evidence, Jesus Christ. Masks were one of the most researched forms of PPE out there, with many million man-years of practice. And the FUD about masks was not restricted to home-made stuff but any form of respiration filters. The only reason masks were in doubt was the incompetent advice from WHO bureaucrats, and the bureaucrats on national advisory levels mindlessly droning it. This was not evidence based.

There was a ton of high quality research on high quality N95 masks. Nobody doubted that. Also, we had no supply of that. To get everyone to mask up, we needed to put the general public in low quality masks. And there was a whole heck of a lot less research on low quality masks being used by the general public. But, regardless, I have no percentage in convincing you of what is true. Have a nice day.
