I agree that in most countries this is the underlying disagreement. I wonder if we thought this through at a global community though.
Imagine if China didn’t or couldn’t pursue a zero covid policy. What happens when the world’s manufacturer closes? We’ve already seen huge supply chain issues.

Across the Western world the vast majority of the economic and social issues have been caused by legalities rather than pandemic reality. For example, for better or worse, if the 10 day isolation and testing regime did not exist in the UK then staff shortages would not either. People aren't actually getting ill en masse - we've just recalibrated what ill means.
