What works for sparsely populated islands with very warm weather doesn't necessarily work for everyone.
A true Covid zero response in Canada, among other things, would have relied on closing all US land crossings (including commercial ones), which wasn't feasible. You can get things down to zero, but if you're allowing any kind of non-citizen in without isolation, then you've wasted the effort.
You've also ignored economic factors. What about people who require support workers? The homeless?
