Could be the type of pet, the breed, how they behave, their relationship...anything about the pet that informs you on their human.

Quora is a very very bad source. You'll find threads there in support of the flat earth! It's as real as asking your neighbors knowing that none of them actually know and everyone is just repeating their own anecdotes. I on the other hand quoted UC Davis Veterinary Medicine. All the threats I mentioned are in fact very real.

You offer fanciful counters like the cars won't be a problem if the driver stops! You are just trying to justify your outdoor cat which will die sooner than mine.

What cat? Rural traffic doesn't follow your expectations, which you seem to have a lot of. Cars are not some constant flow here as they are in the cities, in fact kids here sometimes play frisbee over the road. Define what constitutes a good source to quote and I will quote one in my defense that fits your definition, because the big deal everyone is making it out to be is exaggerated.
