I refer to usage, not definition. You said:

masks are moot

Moot in this case is used as a noun, which would not work in this context.

In order to use moot as an adjective, it should come before a noun or argument

This is also not the way it would be used as a verb.

A discussion or process can be mooted or also moot, but not an object.

Masks are moot = the topic of masks are debatable OR using masks are not relevant to dealing with the scamdemic.

Moot worked because it covered BOTH meanings and was shorter. You are indeed a timesuck. No more for you today.
