Does this not just spread the disease?

It's not about you, it's about the people you will infect during those few days.

You can't spread what you haven't caught.

Wouldn't you want to know whether you might be infecting others you're close to?

What if you infect someone on your way back?

Plenty of people who got the covid were taking similar precautions. It's pretty infectious!

Unless you care about not getting infected.
