If you don't want to drink and don't think you are missing out, then that's a very healthy choice. No question, and I'm not trying to convince you otherwise.
As to why, however. It's no big mystery. It's "fun", or at least can be. If you don't feel it's "worth it", that perfectly fine, but we all have a range of what's "worth it" and what's not. Ranging from a Big Mac to cocaine.
*To be clear, I fall in the middle of that range. I don't advocate cocaine.
FWIW, I've done this once in my Tesla. Fortunately nothing was immediately in front of me at the time, and I was able to correct quick enough. Here's how the logic goes:

Historically, 4% withdrawal rate is likely to last you at least 30 years with funds invested.*

If you launch an android-only app, how much of your press-audience are you excluding?
The other related factor is omicron is more likely (than other variants) to infect someone who has been vaccinated or previously exposed to covid. So the number of infected low risk individuals is higher, than with previous strains.
The denominator is higher than if, let’s say, delta was let loose in the same population at the same time.
The big resource for doctors (or was back in my day) is UpToDate.com - which includes up-to-date clinical summaries of diseases, treatments, with references to clinical studies that back them.
It was an indirect inspiration for MacRumors' roundups. Where we summarize the current information on a particular product rumor, so you don't have to keep up with the "literature".
