You oversimplify. There is a shortage of CFI-glider in some places. Many CFI-glider are older and some have underlying conditions. Keeping CFIs alive until there is a vaccine is much more important than having a CFI ride in the backseat during my Flight Review.

Even if I could find a CFI to ride in the backseat, I don't want to share that airspace.


It isn't an oversimplification. Is flying with a CFI per FAA, insurance and club rules necessary to safety or not? If so then we can't safely fly without doing those things and since being within 6' of another human will forever be deadly(this power trip isn't going to end) once our flight reviews are up we are grounded forever.
