Pure political theatre. There is literally no logical explanation. You can take off your mask as soon as you leave the airport, mingle at a party in between, take your test the next day, and be put on a 10 day quarantine while 95% of other travelers won the quarantine lotto and can spread as they wish.
At the same time ArriveCan is being made permanent, and the definition of fully vaccinated is coming to be changed to 'boosted within 6 months" with little scientific evidence to back that definition.
The political theatre is just a lot more blatant and visible when the measures can't even be reasonably argued for anymore.
