This makes sense to me if maybe my kids were exposed to contaminated water, etc on a daily basis, but this does not make sense for most babies in the U.S, especially those being breastfed.

It does make sense. Diarrhea is most often caused by bacteria or virusses. You can transmit them when you're changing diapers. In case of daycare, there's a LOT of kids with diapers so a higher chance of spreading it.
I've never heard of that particular vaccine before and I don't think I'd give it to my kid. Sometimes kids just need to get sick.
-edit- obviously vaccines are only meant for virusses
