I suspect a lot of it is that protecting yourself is seen as cowardly and selfish, while protecting others is seen as noble.
it may even create sympathy in the anti maskers "wow this guy is wearing a mask to protect his sick kid. That's rough."
vs
"This weirdo is wearing a mask, because he thinks the overblown cold going around is dangerous. What's wrong with him?"
It may not even be real sympathy, though. it may simply be that scolding a person for being too safe is socially acceptable, but scolding them for protecting others isn't
