Japan was not ready to surrender. Mothers were even throwing their babies off of cliffs because they were convinced that the Americans were going to butcher them all to death. Women and children were being trained to charge tanks even. The plan was to make an invasion of Japan so extremely horrifying that America would lose interest and give up. Japanese are highly susceptible to propaganda and going with the flow. Trust me, I live in Japan and almost everyone still wears masks here, two months past the mask directive being rescinded.
Interesting article arguing the various viewpoints around this.
I do think the idea of using the bomb to deter the soviets is important, regardless of veracity, I think it's plausible.

Additionally, I don't agree that the land invasion would have been bloody. If the USA was smart they would have continued the carpet bombing into submission and close air support of troops during and ahead of invasion. Airpower if used effectively can reduce friendly casualties dramatically as seen in desert storm
They wore masks before the pandemic too...
Yes, but not every single frickin' day. They wore them only as they deemed necessary, like when getting over a cold, during allergy season, etc. (Masks are only effective for allergies, really.)
