Literally the only person I know that didn't get it was my mom and we were all masking, vaccinated, washing hands, etc. All those precautions did nothing but delay the inevitable.

I mean, sure, but if you hadn't used those precautions you would have gotten it sooner, likely spread it to more people who would have them spread it to more people, ect. The point wasn't to prevent infection for eternity.

Getting it sooner would have gotten it out of the way sooner and the whole ordeal would have been over with after it ran it's course instead of dragging it out for 2 years.

Not necessarily. I know several people who got it several times within that period. And we dragged it out on purpose to not overwhelm our hospitals.
