The real reason wasn't simply the rising infection count but the unknown impact on hospitalisation/ICU/deaths. If the models show that vaccinations is keeping these figures manageable then the infection count is less important.
Boris is doing a good job, not perfect but I don't think anyone else would do much better. Different focus may benefit different sectors and that cost of others and some would have got us even more in hock. On top of Covid he has other issues to sort out like NI/EU, trade etc.
