It prolongs the inevitability of the getting it, sure, but enough people have severe enough reactions that places run out of hospital and morgue space

As the hospitals run out of space, they have to cancel other treatments or turn people away that would otherwise be able to receive care for non covid19 issues

If El Paso has good mask compliance, they wouldn't be stacking bodies in trucks

If Idaho had good mask compliance, they wouldn't be turning people away from the hospitals

Did someone or something give you the impression that the goal was to stop people from getting covid19 altogether? Or is it something else - like the hospitals are trying to trick us, or the morgue is in kahoots with some scheme?

edit:
Thank you for replying! It's good to get a perspective I hadn't even considered: the idea that there's no harm in the rate of spread
