Someone who hasn't gotten vaccinated yet likely never will, whereas if there are future disruptive variants that can be fixed by another vaccine dose, then someone who has already been vaccinated is likely to do it again. And that doesn't even get into the likely correlation between being an antivaxxer and lacking the traits/abilities that employers would be looking for (e.g. reason, logic, making smart evidence-based decisions, etc.).

I think employers are purposefully not bothering to adjust their policies for a few reasons:
-keep out the nutters
-if they laid off anyone when their vaccine mandate was put in place, they're probably dealing with a bunch of litigation. Changing the policy now weakens their position considerably
-they'd want to reduce spread as much as possible (even though it seems impossible) to avoid business interruptions if everyone has to be home sick
