I think you'll find they're being driven by data, not just making seemingly arbitrary decisions.
Unfortunately the data in question are the number of backbench MPs that would rebel against the whip and therefore they have to bow to this pressure instead of doing what might actually be the right thing to do.
Surprised they haven't called a referendum about mask wearing, seems to be the preferred way of making irreversible decisions these days.
