> the 5 tests is clearly a better outcome for society.

I don't think that's obviously true. Misread pregnancy tests are fantastically common, and someone mistakenly believing they don't have covid is going to be a significant negative for society.

Instructions simply don't work, a large number of people don't read instructions. Heck, I might not read the instructions for this if it looked understandable at first glance. Decades of pointless barely-understandable instructions on cheap devices have trained me not to bother.
