Looks like there's plenty of masks available on Amazon. I suspect a major part of why the mask gets a prescription is to make insurance covering it simpler.

There's a funny workaround where mask parts don't require a subscription. The ones I've seen on Amazon are usually selling parts, perhaps a kit of parts, and not a complete mask.

Yeah, doctors can write a prescription for over the counter drugs for this reason.
