Why? If I’m having sex with my wife she can just take birth control and if I’m single and sleeping around I have to use protection anyways.

Because you don’t want to give yourself the chance to change your mind.
It’s worth nothing that hormonal birth control doesn’t really agree with all women. Hormones have health complications, including mental health. I would never push a partner towards taking them.
Well yeah if you don't know yourself well enough to know that you never want kids in the future, you obviously wouldn't get an irreversible procedure.
But everyone has a point after which they decide they don't want more kids and it's insane to force your partner to continue being responsible for that with all the downsides when you can just get a snip.
And if you're thinking you're gonna want kids 20 years from now as a man in his 30s or 40s or later, run that by your partner and see what she thinks about that.
Oh I don't know. Go read a single article about women's birth control and the extreme effects it has in a woman's body and often personality? Also, self empowerment? Also, casual sex and condom use is notoriously not perfect. Curing many STDs is easier than, again, the larger burden that women carry when contraception fails.
Women this and women that. I’m not going to have surgery and close off a bodily function permanently and irreversibly (essentially) when the woman can just stop birth control whenever she wants. Not to mention extreme responses happen in a small fraction of women. Around 30% have mild reactions and around 4.5% have extreme reactions.
>Women this and women that.
Ah, I see, this isn't actually a remote concern to you, for obvious reasons.
> I’m not going to have surgery and close off a bodily function permanently and irreversibly (essentially)
Oh, dear, could you be more ignorant?
> In addition, nearly eight out of ten women who used contraception said they had experienced two or more side effects.
literally first result
> Overall, one quarter of females who are using contraception are not using their preferred method. The leading reason for this is concern about side effects, a theme that comes up in many aspects of contraceptive care. Almost one-third of contraceptive users (31%) say they are experiencing side effects from their current method, and just over half (52%) say the side effects are more severe than they expected.
literally second result
> In the KFF survey, about a third of women using contraception said they currently experienced side effects such as weight gain, headaches, bloating, nausea, mood changes, and menstrual changes. While these issues are usually not severe enough to be medically concerning, they can have a significant impact on quality of life. Studies show that many women who stop using birth control do so because of side effects.
And on and on.
If you've decided you don't want any (more) kids in the future, a vasectomy is the easiest way to insure that with the least likely side effects for anyone.
Why would you force your wife to be subjected to the side effects of birth control if you can get a simple out-patient procedure?
