It might not affect you, but it does harm a hell of a lot of people, particularly in the travel and tourism industries, which will not recover until the vaccinated are permitted to travel without the possibility of having to be quarantined with a positive test.
Death is the ultimate disaster but we also should note that about 25% of hospitalized people have what is called "long COVID'. Some can more or less recuperate within 6-9 months of different symptoms from lost of taste and smell, extreme fatigue, not able to walk more than a few minutes difficulties to breath, etc. For others they have symptoms similar to chronic Lyme disease or even fibromyalgie. So it is about time to cease thinking that if you get out (survive) of the hospital you are all right. Being tested, even if fully vaccinated, does make sense because, again, no vaccine is 100% efficient and it is for yours and the public protection. The only way to ensure this public protection is through quarantine. For travelers, it also allow monitoring of new variant being imported. The threat to economy and tourism is the contamination, not the tests. Vaccination and tests are both essential for all economic activity including tourism.
And by the way, it does affect me but I'm happy to contribute. I'm fully vaccinated since june. I have to go outside Canada by airplane in a few weeks. I will get tested within 72 hours before getting on the plane and when I will arrive to Canada. If unexpectedly I tested positive then, my quarantine plan is all set. We have to get through this pandemic together!
