One of the primary drivers here is that too many people are 'wealthy'. This makes it hard for the people who view themselves as special to feel suitably distanced from those who they view as not special. Money used to be enough to do this, now it's all about establishing new rituals only shared by the 'in' group.

Forcing masks on the underclass makes it clear who is special, and who is not.
