RNZ have a plot that I'm reasonably skeptical of:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/450874/covid-19-data-visualisations-nz-in-numbers
It appears to indicate that in the current outbreak the incidence of COVID-19 is lowest for people who are unvaccinated, highest in individuals who are ineligible for the vaccine, and somewhere in the middle for fully and partially vaccinated individuals.
A priori you would expect the incidence for the Ineligible and Unvaccinated groups to be similar. They are both unvaccinated, with the main difference in the demographics.
I'd say there is a issue with data numerators, denominators, calculations, or that uncertainty is large enough that point estimates don't mean much. Alternatively there is a strong bias going on, one potential being the unvaccinated might be much less likely to get tested and hence less likely to appear as cases.

A variety of reasons, some discussed by others already. Add mildly impacted unvaccinated perhaps reluctant to be tested?
But there is a more relevant chart directly below the one you posted that shows unvaccinated 11x more likely per capita to be hospitalised; ie. 0.11/100k unvaccinated vs 0.01/100k fully vaccinated.
And this just the start of the Omicron wave.
