"Was interested to see a geniune UKCA mark on a Blueair Blue 411 air filter we bought recently. Quite surprised that a company had actually bothered with the duplication."

IIRC, manufactures have until 2023 to change from CE to UKCA marks. In most cases, it's just a case of changing the mark as the standards have not (yet) changed. It remains to be seen if the UK will track EU CE standards as and when they change, or go down a separate track. At that point, it will be up to the manufactures to decide whether to have multiple product versions for home and EU markets or go with whichever standard is higher, thus matching both, possibly at a cost disadvantage in the lower standard market.
