I see people constantly breaking lockdown restrictions outside of my window here. It's pretty damn frustrating for those who are obeying the restrictions.

The population of Sydney is 5367206 according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Smaller than most major cities, but not all that tiny....
My point still hasn't changed: that people who are saying that "we have X many cases in our city, your ~200 cases is nothing compared to ours" are perhaps over-trivialising the problems we are facing.
Also, I was under the impression that the long-term effects of COVID isn't well understood yet, and that people who are vaccinated can still be carriers. If I'm not mistaken on both accounts, then everyone should be just as cautious until basically the majority of the population is vaccinated -- otherwise those who are vaccinated are basically just walking around infecting those who aren't since everyone has the guard down?
Edit: potentially abrasive choice of word.
Given there are still a lot of unknowns with the virus, I still think we should all be more cautious. But it's just personal opinion at this point, so I don't want to dwell on that.
