Having significant air movement (like an actual felt breeze) is really all we need, so I'd consider this an accesory. And this would be super nice anyway in places like elevators and restrooms which are rarely ventilated to a good level.

I recall a case from the early covid days where contact tracing showed a bunch of people catching it in a restaurant; it turned out what they had in common is that they were all downwind of the carrier from the relevant HVAC vent. Some restaurants retrofitted fancy setups with individual vents or even partial center enclosures for each table, but obviously that gets quite expensive, especially compared to a UV bulb. I do generally agree with you though that proper circulation and filtration can be very beneficial in limiting spread of pathogens.
