If you posed the question I presume the CDC would say that it's not necessary to wear hats. I don't think it's a reasonable conclusion to then say that everyone wearing hats distrusts the CDC.
This Atlantic article[1] seems to imply that it would be "an expression of political identity". These Pew Research results[2] titled Partisan Differences Over the Pandemic Response Are Growing would seem to back that up. It's not the only research they've done of this nature[3].

"Shouldn't" is very different than "not necessary." In a way that changes the entire premise of the discussion.
Maybe we should now quibble about my use of "no one"?
The most common stated reason amongst my peers for not stopping mask usage during the short summer detente we had locally was a desire to get their moneys worth from all the masks they had already bought.
As that’s fallacious on its face, I’d have to assume that wasn’t the actual reason. Regardless, it’s still a quibble given we’re talking about actual guidance, if there’s a point to arguing about s hypothetical set of guidelines that will never be issued and would provide a distinction if they were , I might be interested. It wasn’t, won’t, and wouldn’t.
