I hope your grandmother doesn't live in your ideal society. Forgive the strong language but my point is it's precisely the most vulnerable / neglected / oppressed of our fellow citizens and members of our society who are / have been the most at risk to coronavirus.

And that's an important consideration when we think about why a lockdown is important as well.

My grandmother will always have high risk of death given of her age, any small diseases could kill her, not just covid.

To lock her down, to not let her out the house, to deprive her with activity that she want to do will cause more damage to her physical health and mental health.
