The 'meeting one other person for coffee outside' is already happening anyway so won't make any difference.
Quite a few people aren't though. So officially allowing it won't mean things stay the same, it will mean a lot of people who weren't doing it before will now start doing it, and many of those that were doing it before will now move to the next stage such as meeting up in larger groups for a coffee or tramp beers.

Schools are only back for 3 weeks before Easter so it's a good window to see if there is increased transmission and cases start going up again, before the other major loosening of lockdown rules.
