Anything that is classed as being "safe", has to be safe to such a high level, as otherwise more people will do that activity, more often, meaning any "safety" gain is completely lost.

But that would mean the decimation of many eating and drinking establishments and the jobs, livelihoods and mental good health generated by them. Wearing masks in shops does not hinder purchasing to any significant extent. There will always be apparent contradictions but it's the difficult job of the government to weigh up these opposing forces.
