If masks worked there would have been a effort made to make people wear them correctly. The fact that no such effort was ever made showed the fact they knew it didn't work.
I work in a book store, the number of inside-out, upside-down, below the nose, and just flat on the face with no effort to fit it around the nose or chin mask I saw back when people wore masks outnumber the times I saw one somewhat correctly worn.
Fear is an excellent motivator. This wasn't behavior motivated by fear, but by compliance and social status.
Fuck, in IT, I have to convince people that it's okay just to click on things because they are scared of breaking the computer. If they are afraid and don't know what to do, they retreat to something familiar. It's why lockdowns were never needed. When people are scared of something, they self-isolate already.
The fact that they didn't care to do it right, means they weren't afraid of doing it wrong.

some people might have worn it incorrectly on purpose as mild form of civil disobedience
For some, probably, but I've also seen people wearing it under their nose, in their car, by themselves.
