Pretty much, but then they came under pressure from various governments to acknowledge that 'anything has to better than nothing' and they had to accept this probably was the case, no matter how little better than nothing that was.
And then those government ran with claims that DIY face coverings were essential wear, protected others if not the wearer, and the CDC recently started asserting they also protect the wearer.
I wear mine because it just keeps others happy but I'm not sure how much more effective they are than standing on a step ladder in the face of a tsunami.
Seems to me "homemade face coverings" were deliberately conflated with medical "mask" and "respirator" for the political expediency of being seen to do something and their benefit has been rather inflated.
