Well, but they are supposed to be in an evidence oriented occupation. There is no more evidence supporting masks than holy water, voodoo dolls, or a charmed amulet. But those are not sciencey enough.
My grandmother wore a garland of onions around her neck to protect her against Spanish Flu. Apparently lots of others did too. People get so full of fear they will try anything.
I judge too. If a so-called medical professional is that ignorant about the data regarding the effectiveness of masks for preventing the transmission of disease, then I judge them to be incompetent and lacking judgment.
Imagine if the vast majority had rejected this practice as the clownish, unscientific absurdity that it is, though. Much of this was allowed to happen precisely because it had the support of so many. Maybe if we'd fostered a little more curiosity about the "science" behind strapping a bacteria laden rag over our breathing holes, the same would've followed for the toxic sludge campaign.
Doctors and nurses still wear them. It is the prerogative of the wearer. As long as they dont force others, I dont judge.

I’m sure they have a rabbit foot in their pockets …
That's actually more effective than a cloth mask. The power of the mind comes into play.
Yup I often call the masks their lucky rabbit’s foot.

I'm very judgey and med people need to be called out for the theater. 'Cloth masks don't stop nano-scale virus particles'.
