You linked to advice that says:
"Generally, if you are up to date on your COVID-19 vaccinations, you do not need to wear a mask in outdoor settings. Check your local COVID-19 hospital admission level for recommendations on when to wear a mask indoors and additional precautions you can take to protect yourself from COVID-19. If you are immunocompromised or more likely to get very sick from COVID-19, learn more about how to protect yourself."
That just isn't the same thing as saying it's unnecessary for vaccinated people.
Those words don't mean the thing you say they mean.
Have you checked your local hospital admissions level, fam? That's actually a neat little hyperlink if you'd look at the site.
