    smell the stench of bacterial byproducts

    True. Smells of bacteria’s farts.

    people can’t go around constantly cleaning their armpits.

    In theory we could if you catch my drift. Some people use it as a fetish, but personally I’m not that brave.

    Also you can just get deoderants that aren’t antiperspirants

    Pardon my eventual ignorance, but from my understanding deodorants are perfumed - “stink mitigation” if you will and antiperspirants are just to try and sweat less, like “stink prevention”

      as the name suggests de-odorants are supposed to remove the smell, and the perfume is just an extra to mask what’s left over and to make you actively smell nice.
      The stuff i get is lightly perfumed and works great, it frankly baffles me that it’s not the standard. There are also completely non-perfumed ones, usually branded for people who are allergic or sensitive to smells or somesuch.
