Coming from someone who's flirted with giving up entirely in the past: You're wrong and should re-evaluate why you think this. Being outside tends to improve ventilation but it's not a silver bullet. If one wishes to avoid covid infection, then not eating at the same table, only a couple feet away, from a person who's been taking zero precautions, is a risk. Walking in the park, sure probably no need to mask there, it's usually easy to maintain some distance and you don't have prolonged contact with anyone, but sitting at the same table for an hour is not the same as that. But if say, there was a festival going on in the park and you can't avoid the crowds, masking becomes necessary again if you want to maintain a low level of risk. It's highly situational.
Just because you don't want to do it doesn't mean nobody else should or that there's no reason to.
