I don't shave my armpits but I put on deodorant, because I don't want to stink for as long as possible. And that's not just because of wider society's expectations - I don't like the smell of B.O. You might revel in it and think that the smell is inherently masculine, that's your preference.
We don't know why the OP's husband shaves, that was just a suggestion of a potential benefit. But think about it: we cut the hair on our head, many of us shave the hair on our face, isn't it just an extension of that male grooming? I think it's entirely up to the individual how they choose to deal with the hair on their body.
