All of those things reduce risk, they do not remove it. And given that you can be asymptomatic for two weeks there’s a very real danger of spreading the virus. And there isn’t really a good reason to be doing it right now other than “I want to” so it’s not difficult to see it as a selfish act.

(the friend travelling from city to city and staying in Airbnbs sounds considerably worse to me, though)

Probably not that bad since, with the advent of masks and social distancing, supposedly ~95% of cases are NOT from community spread. Most of the spread is from dense living situations and meeting with friends and family without masks when you shouldn't.

It’s no more selfish than those going to pickup takeout food from different restaurants multiple times a week. If you’re going to chide a van camper, chide every single person you see outside not having all of their groceries and supplies delivered to their doorstep.
