I agree with you. In the UK, as long as you're not somewhere very, very urbanised, bang next to a main road or in an area full of psychos, it's pretty safe for your cat to be outdoors. Our family has had cats that lived to 22 years old. VCats are territorial anyway, and mostly never stray from a set route of a few gardens.
Plus, I've known cats so eager to putdoors they literally tried to jam themselves through open upstairs windows half their size.
In areas full of predators, I agree it's stupid, but I kind of feel sorry for UK who are kept indoors all day on their own.
