I can assure you, one that the entire population is not vaccinated. And two, there were a lot more than 1300 to 1600 breakthrough cases with delta.
If your hypothesis above were even remotely true, we wouldn’t even be discussing boosters.

4-5 per 1 million is accurate as is the current number in US that have been fully vaccinated at 188 million. The number fully vaccinated that will get COVID the second time is 940. I was not using the entire population because the number that are fully vaccinated that will get COVID a second time could change to be more or less then the 4-5 per million. The statistics I used were from CDC. The breakthrough cases are for all ages and includes those with pre-existing conditions that can contribute to the severity and the potential of a second infection.
The reason for boosters is to extend the 95% percent effectiveness of the those fully vaccinated. There are no statistics about a number of individuals that were infected by COVID that have had booster shots--to soon. If you can insure me there are more breakthrough cases, how many breakthrough cases have there been and what is your source?
