Isn’t it crazy what people will do to preserve their way of life when it no longer makes sense and there are good alternatives? Not every food works as takeout, but it’s hardly a deprivation.

This doesn't seem that crazy to me. But I do live in a relatively cold climate. Outdoor dining in 50F weather was a thing we'd do even before the pandemic hit. Heck, I've done outdoor dining below freezing in the mountain town where my brother lives.

The best way to combat cabin fever is to get out of the cabin.

Well sure, but there are plenty of less-risky outdoor activities during a pandemic.

It's a social thing more than anything else. People want to meet up with people; in many places outdoor bar/restaurant is one of the obvious ways to do this safely and legally.
