An excuse for some people to take even more from the rest.
The new variant makes some people godlike all over again (even some of the frontline workers). They get to order people about with more commandments. Would most people give that up without anybody waking up and fighting back, especially if they didn't think anybody would?

By giving each variant a different name and origin country, scientists, the grief/tragedy/sympathy industry, the healthcare industry, government/corporate entities and everyone else with a financial interest in continuation of the pandemic and measures against it can keep the same trick going for years, and getting people to do anything they tell them to, like puppets. They can keep fucking with people's lives as long as they want as long as people allow them to by getting fearful. They must be saving the subterranean Boogeyman variant for last, for a time when people are no longer shocked/scared into doing what they are told (including with the threat of loss of jobs/companies/businesses). If people don't wake up and fight, they're going to have less and less left to fight for, the longer it takes.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
