Gotcha, missed that bit. As they are then opening holiday lets a couple weeks later that request to stay local seems slightly pointless...

Depends, it's quite clear from the behaviours that we've seen that the UK population covers the full spectrum from "sticking to the letter and spirit of the guidelines" through "sticking to the letter and spirit of the law", "sticking to the letter of the law", "roughly sticking to the law/guidelines", "doing what they want", all the way to "fuck da police".
Much like speed limits. The fact that a significant proportion of people break the speed limits, it's not a reason to get rid of them. If you frame the requirements in such a way that you expect a certain percentage of people to break/push them then you can take those into account for the eventual behaviour that will, on average, exceed the limits but to a manageable extent.
[EDIT] For example, if you want to get average speeds on a road below 40mph then setting the speed limit for that road to 40mph will get you average speeds somewhere between 40mph and 50mph. So you set the speed limit to 30mph and you end up with average speeds under 40mph. Job done.

Going across the country to see parents that you haven't seen for many months (possibly over a year) is not a frivolous journey.
