I'm a PhD student in Bioengineering at one of the top Bioengineering programs in the nation, and I've been following literature reviews on masks ever since the pandemic started. Yes there have been conflicting conclusions on whether masks reduce infection risk for the people wearing them. However:
1) Most controlled studies are based on the flu virus (such as the one you quoted) due to abundant researches on its nature of transmission as well as treatment, whereas studies on COVID are mostly observational studies or surveys for obvious ethic reasons. Whether studies on influenza directly translate to COVID is a big question mark.
2) While wearing a mask might not help lower your risk of getting the virus from other people, it is proven that wearing a mask CAN reduce your emission of aerosols and droplets through speech and respiratory activities such as sneezing and coughing. There has been an increasing number of literatures on this topic since COVID started, I'm sure if you just google it you will be able to find them, here's the most recent one I read about: https://ieeexplore.ieee
3) Taking a step back, I'd still wear a mask to protect myself from COVID even though some studies showed no reduction in transmission (with flu) while wearing a mask. To me, it seems the only negative of wearing a mask is the minor discomfort, with the potential benefit of protecting myself from COVID (again, unproven, thus potential), so I'll happily take it.
All these being said, the most important thing is still staying at home as much as you can, because at the end of the day, any mask wearing is just preventative.

You can also lookup peer-reviewed studies (the GOLD standard in studies) done in Canada (2014), Vietnam (2016), and Denmark and China (2020) that also shows masks don't work.
Have a good day and thanks for playing today!

"However, as with hand hygiene, face masks might be able to reduce the transmission of other infections and therefore have value in an influenza pandemic when healthcare resources are stretched."

[ieee.org] I'm not going to argue whether wearing a mask protects you, but it does protect others from you in case you have COVID, which is the major reason behind CDC's implementation of masks.

I am cherry picking the overall conclusion?
Here's the entire sentence from the last paragraph of the study you cited

Author affiliations: University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China
This study was conducted in preparation for the development of guidelines by the World Health Organization on the use of nonpharmaceutical interventions for pandemic influenza in nonmedical settings.
This study was supported by the World Health Organization. J.X. and M.W.F. were supported by the Collaborative Research Fund from the University Grants Committee of Hong Kong (project no. C7025-16G).

And this study isn't current as this was done in 2/6/2020 per the University of Hong Kong, China. See the authors?
