They count on this. Gradually add more restrictions to forms of travel with already overburdened restrictions, and then gradually introduce new restrictions to other forms of travel, limiting both your options, until you are forced to accept some restrictions (and thus starting the slippery slope into normalization), or to cut back on your very right to travel at all.
The solution isn't to find an alternative.
The solution is to pushback. Create controversy. Make executives lives a living hell, make restrictions a PR nightmare for corporations to enforce. Make it expensive and stick them with bad optics, fuel the outrage. Be intolerant.

I don't want to push back, I want to keep my money instead of giving it to their company.

Thats fair. You can also pushback by going to competitors and telling them "I don't want to fly or support xyz because of their mask policy and treatment of customers. I was thinking of becoming a customer here."
They'll do what their competitors do, but if enough people do this, either 1. the first company xyz will panic because of what looks like a trend, or 2. the second company will get greedy and see pushing back against the mask as a PR stunt.
Once they even mention it, they'll get a HUGE flood of support from the public, and the end result is the dam will burst.
Get it to that point, where one company or another is pitted against others, with the potential for bad or good pr, and they'll eat each other alive to be the first to remove their mask policies.
