Would cats be allowed outside if we had a non-fractured ecosystem? Like I don'tdeny the destructive force of kittywittys biblically-accurate-kitty but I feel it's nothing compared to agricultural practices and the loss of habitat space.

While that's a good point, housecats still aren't native to most places humans live. If you had befriended a native wild species of cat, that would be different, especially if you didn't feed it and it just did its thing during the day to get a meal. However, a typical housecat isn't hunting for food, but for sport, and they have a voracious appetite for killing.
