The problem is that it's extremely difficult for shielding residents to remain separated from the rest of society to an extent that would cut the virus off completely, particularly if the virus is rampant in the rest of society. Plus it's not desireable for shielded groups to be locked away behind closed doors any more than it is for the rest of us.
It's still a question of balance between enabling social and economic activity to take place whilst mitigating the risk of infections within the less vulnerable groups. We probably haven't got that balance right yet, but it's not a simple question of shielding one part of society and not restricting the other.
