If cases are that rare in those that are vaccinated and breakthrough cases are generally mild, why do vaccinated people need to continue to take those precautions?

Poor messaging + extreme caution.
The 2nd statement is now 3-4 months old, made when they of course didn't have the information backed by 66 million fully vaccinated people.
Why they would still be communicating that is beyond me. Perhaps the message behind the message is "don't be a dick and go off the rails about being vaccinated if there's still a mandate in your area"... instead of the drama that would come with that, they want to still communicate one message (wear a mask, stay away from people).... and then once we hit a threshold of vaccinated people, it would be a new single message lifting mandates and what not.
Just a wild guess though... they also shut down a vaccine because of a one in a million chance, so there's that.
