Schools have been open five days a week, lots of people are working in the office. Pubs and bars are open. Population density is 3.5 times higher than in the US. It's not really a surprise.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Schools open in the US don’t seem to be a major factor...

I don't know what it's like in the rest of the country, but here the schools are not operating in a normal way. The kids go into school 2 days a week, work in small groups or alone 2 days a week, and have online lessons one day a week. So, the school population is roughly 50% of normal to enable distancing. In the UK, my nieces and nephews are going in 5 days a week.
I would also say that the Atlantic article is very opinionated. They clearly have an argument to push.

The election narrative is the US is the worst. You can’t publish this stuff.

I think the benefits are obvious,
That's the problem.
Everyone (almost everyone) just knows that it works.
As far as I know there is absolutely no proof.
But a mask is no guarantee of anything, you have to take it on faith.
You can't point at a case caused by not wearing a mask.
You can't point at a case prevented by wearing a mask.

No, there's no proof, but there's evidence.

The third world is always worse. That's why it's third.
