Yesterday (16/12/2021) dr.dk, which is the public, "official" state broadcaster. They get their data from SSI (statens serum institut). I took a screenshot and notice today that they are showing numbers, not percentages.

Scroll down to the info graphic "Omikron-smittede fordelt på vaccinationsstatus"

It says (translated using DeepL, I don't speak Danish)

Omicron-infected persons by vaccination status: Please note that these are raw numbers and do not take into account the number of people in each group. On 14 December, for example, 23.4% of the population had received the 3rd jab. This is only a statistic on infection, the figures say nothing about vaccine protection against serious disease. Data was collected up to 13 December.

So your initial comment doesn't really hold any more, as you seem to acknowledge yourself already. Right?

Um no, I was commenting specifically on Omicron infections and I am interested in the fact that the completely unvaccinated are undererepresented percentage-wise in Omicron infections.

I was not commenting on prevention of serious disease.
