Maybe for some.
But being an introvert isn't necessarily about being shy or not wanting to be seen.
It's more that it's uncomfortable to be around too many people for too long, and draining to be with anyone for more than a few hours. We recharge our energy by spending time alone. But even introverts do like to socialise. We do it differently - prefer company when it's one on one and deep.
Most introverts already have a wide range of tactics for getting time alone when they need it. For most, the mask would make little difference.
