Creatively using statistics happens on both sides. Example: "Case statistics show us that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated!"
But due to the 3g rule (access to events or buildings is granted to the vaccinated, recovered or people with a PCR test less than 24h ago) in countries like Germany, guess which group is tested most: The unvaccinated. Other groups do not need tests!

There could be value in reducing spread due to vaccinated people (depending on how much of it there is, as you say, we don't have good surveillance of it), but there's lots of value in reducing hospitalizations, and that's what many of those statements are about.

"A study done by the CDC in New York accounted for the following — “A total of 1,271 new COVID-19 hospitalizations (0.17 per 100,000 person-days) occurred among fully vaccinated adults, compared with 7,308 (2.03 per 100,000 person-days) among unvaccinated adults”."
