It's far easier not to touch your face when you're wearing a mask, so I don't get why the American guidance continues to be not to do it. Even a cloth reusable mask helps with it (and is a visible social signal)

The masks also help in unrelated ways (barrier to face touching, reminder to be in "virus awareness mode" if you don't normally wear one, social signal). The guidance seems too narrowly focused on the filtering ability of the mask, not its other uses

Also you feel stuffy and uncomfortable, so a great incentive to limit time spent out of the house

It’s true of a lot of safety gear, though. Ordinary people don’t generally need, say, fire-retardant jackets that firefighters use. If we all tried to buy them it would definitely disrupt supply. And firefighters do need them and should have access to the supply.
