It is not clear to me what the benefits of quarantining air travellers is. I assume ports and airfreight will remain for other supplies - food, goods, pharmaceuticals etc etc.
The numbers arriving at airports from hotspots is (I understand) around 1-2000 per day. Most will not be infected. Assuming as many as 5% are, this is approx 100 people a day.
Current cases in UK are 20000 per day. If a further 100 were added to this (0.5%) the impact would be all but unmeasurable.
The argument that it will stop the spread of mutated virus is just about plausible. This argument relies on (a) the virus is not already here, and (b) the vaccine is ineffective against it. Again a risk but very, very small.
Against these very small risks, given that resources are limited, it would be far better to deploy the effort towards enforcing self-isolation where it is currently being ignored.
The only positive side to hotel quarantine is that it helps restart the hospitality sector - and as most employees are probably on furlough the costs will be offest by reducing the furlough bill.
