I think if you go back to polls and news from the time, "most folks" only caring about legal requirements is probably a projection of your opinion and direct contacts'. Pretty sure most people were actually concerned with not infecting others, within reason (which is a different level for everyone, but still)

It sounds like you might be conflating two different issues here (being why people were taking covid tests without any symptoms, and why people were doing the superset of actions that would mitigate spreading the virus). There certainly was some overlap where folks who needed to take them for their jobs also wanted to keep people safe, but in general do you believe there were a large number of folks who were or are taking covid tests while not showing symptoms and not being required to take the tests? Additionally, you made a huge leap in assumptions about me that simply aren't true when you assumed what my opinion is/was and how that would project. Let's keep it away from getting personal like that?
