I am not disagreeing. However, the premise of normal masks is primarily for sick people to not spread disease.
"It is important to wear a mask or respirator when you are sick or caring for someone who is sick with COVID-19."

"Wear a high-quality and well-fitting mask if you must be around others (for example: going to get tested), even in your home."

Framing masking as protecting the wearer was done to psychologically make people care. People are more likely to care about themselves, than others.
