I'd imagine most of the previously infected have also got vaccinated, so the number is much smaller. I'm not sure where your bolded bit comes from? We do know that getting covid and then getting vaccinated provides stronger protection than just getting covid. So logically, it makes sense to have those people vaccinated.
I suspect the bigger issue is messaging, because if you give people an out for getting vaccinated, they will take it. "I'll wait for natural immunity!" is not a good plan. The goal is to get as many people vaccinated as possible. Adding caveats will make reaching that goal harder.
Here's some good reading on why you should still get vaccinated if you had covid:
