"All". Even if that's true, some time you might travel and be around women who aren't vaccinated, and you get an infection with something bearing the lovely name "genital warts". It has the long-term complications of "cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, mouth, tonsils, or throat". And you can give it to any other women you get with for the next few years, potentially giving them any of those relevant cancers.

So yes. It absolutely makes sense for a man to get it. For selfish reasons, you probably don't want penis cancer. For non-selfish ones, you don't want give other partners cervical cancer.
