it makes you sweat more and collect odor
AND
All this time you thought it was sculpted muscles, dazzling smiles and
fast cars that were surefire babe magnets. Well have we got news for
you. What really drives women wild are naturally occurring body
chemicals called pheromones. Actually they work the same way to
drive men wild, but the male and female pheromones are chemically different.
The name pheromone comes from two Greek words pheran (to transfer)
and horman (to excite). According to Dr. Winnifred Cutler, pheromones are “substances
excreted by an animal that affect the reproductive behavior
of another same-species animal acting at a distance.” Since 1870 when
the French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre discovered male moths flying
from miles away to visit a female moth caged in his lab, scientists
have known about and documented the effects of pheromones on
mating in insect and animal species. For example male cockroaches
go wild when exposed to a glass rod covered with female cockroach
pheromones, and attempt to mate with it!
In humans, pheromones are activated at puberty. Both men and women
produce varying amounts of “male” pheromones: androstenone and
androstenol, only women secrete the “female” pheromone copulins.
Produced by the apocrine glands in the armpit and around the genitals
pheromones send signals that are picked up by the vemeronasal organ
(VNO), just inside the nose. The VNO passes these messages on
to the limbic part of the brain which governs the most
basic human sensations, like joy, anger, love, hate and sexual arousal.

armpit hair has absolutely no point in this day and age in my opinion ... the other hair is really just personal preference whether someone wants it or not (just like hair on your head, which some people shave, other like short, and some like long)

Just like any other hairs on our body it was meant to protect us from the elements and help keep us warm. With technology we no longer need it.

Go without it for a while and:
It'll smell
It'll rub and chafe and hurt
During sex it's easier to rub against each other.
and without hair on my Bs, I enjoy a lady more but finish quicker.
