Not a rip off at all. The FCO has not issued a "do not travel" notice, so you would be changing your booking for personal reasons. In those circumstances you would always pay a fee.
If I were you I'd go, enjoy your trip, take the usual sensible hygiene precautions (the sorts of things you'd do anyway, irrespective of the Covid-19) and the likelihood is you'll come back perfectly OK. You are likely to contract Covid-19 whether you go to Portugal or stay in UK.
