It isn't. But it doesn't fit into the "my governor is an evil dictator" narrative. Following CDC guidance for vaccine priorities also didn't fit in with the Evil Dictator narrative.That doesn't seem so bad to me.
He should have done it the same day. The mandate should never have been put in place to begin with. Having to wear a mask when you're walking in the middle of the woods with no one else around was always stupid. He removed "when you can't socially distance" from the original outdoor mandate to make it ridiculous, yet he himself did not follow it and took off his mask at news conferences so he would look better on TV.

I am not a fan of the royal family but they did wear masks at Prince Philip's funeral rather than say, "Do as I say not as I do or I will fine you $300."
For the record, I think a mask mandate for being out doors is generally silly. It throws shade on all other gubmntal recommendations for their veracity.
There is no “ One size fits all” so your hikes in the PNW woods where you do not meet a human in 3 hours may be maskless, and crowded running paths in NYC Central Park maybe should be populated with masked runners.
When I read CDC directives, I did not see this distinction. The great outdoors in Nanny G’s is One Concept and One Space.
My "terrible" was more concerning state and county level governments not immediately instantly changing their protocols the very instant the CDC issues a new guideline. Because, you know, there's no friction associated with doing things in the real world :-)
As far as masks and the great outdoors, well, people are being silly in many ways...
