Even if your not deaf, hearing someone through a muffled mask is difficult. Everyone uses lip reading to some degree. While in a bar restaurant, half of the conversation is dependent upon lip reading. I made it clear to anyone, masked or unmasked, that they were welcome to sit with me as long as they understood this face would wear no mask. I had a couple masked people sit next to me. I tried to drum up conversation with them, but masking made it too difficult. Yes, it doesn't take much to wear a mask, but try to understand someone wearing one.
To that person who made a comment about the mask who got ejected. What would happen if he made some comment about the space in front of the seat? Or what if he said something about the seatbelts being out of date? The narrative only flows in one direction. And yes, one thing this pandemic has underlined is how people, given some sense of authority, love using it. To me it would be one huge hassle.
