It does, except the high paid professions like doctors and lawyers who got their lobbyists to buy an exemption. All the rest of us who don't have lobbyists to bribe Newsom, like photographers, journalists, struggling actors, musicians, home care workers, beauticians, transcribers, etc etc., have had our jobs made illegal since January 1, 2020. And the media has been silent on this, by the way.
