I think I captured most of that in my use of the word "usually".

No the word "usually" does not capture that at all. I and a lot of other people spend a lot more time at the office, at the gym, at school, at entertainment venues with friends than we spend at grocery stores.

In this sense "usually" applies to enforcement which has plenty of exceptions for the cases you raise.
It obviously depends on country and region and the stage of the pandemic, but in the UK there's been plenty of wiggle room at various times.

It takes all of 2-3 workouts to get used to a mask. It is not a major inconvenience. It is minor.

Exactly. Nuance is always missing because making nuanced decisions is hard

You know what's really a "major inconvenience"? Getting intubated and not being able to breathe well for the rest of your life, assuming you survive at all.
You know what's really a "major inconvenience" for kids? Dying, or transmitting covid to their parents, killing them, and then growing up with no parents.

Most kids will not die from COVID-19, and most healthy adults won't be intubated.

Intubation is rare. Less than 5% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients are currently being put on mechanical ventilation.

It's a minor inconvenience at the grocery store.
It's a major inconvenience to wear one at gyms.
It's a major inconvenience with regards to socializing with friends (a core human need), I really hate not being able to read other people's facial expressions when I talk to them.
It's a major inconvenience to require it at schools. It's horrible for kids not to be able to see the facial expressions of their teachers or classmates (especially when learning how to read and pronounce words!).
