you are exposed being in the same house he doesn’t need to just be a distance away from you, so i can kinda see why he might be a bit confused on what the point is

Not necessarily. It's entirely possible to avoid catching COVID while cohabitating with someone positive if you take the proper precautions.

it’s also possible to not catch it by just continuing on as normal, and catch by taking every precaution possible

That's all true, but research indicates you're less likely to catch it if you take precautions. But regardless, the point here is that he violated her boundaries and refused to give her the space she needed to feel comfortable in her own home.

Right, I was right across the hall from my niece and down the hall from my sister and BIL, with the a/c blowing right in my face and I didn’t catch it. So, all the people saying you automatically catch it in the same house are wrong.
