> Better question, why do _you_ care when _others_ decide to stop wearing a mask?

The issue isn't that others are still wearing masks themselves. It's that they're trying their hardest to force the rest of us to wear masks still. E.g.: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35582836

There have been zero masks mandates in place for over a year and Covid policies are only getting more relaxed, so that "issue" doesn't really seem to have any teeth.

This is not true, e.g. California just lifted its mask mandate in "healthcare settings" less than two weeks ago [1]. Different institutions still maintain their own mask mandates to this day though and not just in California.
