Even for indoor cats? Responsible indoor-only cat owners cause none of these problems

Cats get out, I know plenty of people who's cats escaped and they spend a day or two looking for them.

This is the exception, not the rule. And if a cat that's escaped and spends a couple days outside is going to destroy a wildlife ecosystem, then that ecosystem was probably already on the verge of collapse anyway.

I think we have much lower hanging (and more impactful) fruit than "ban even indoor-only cats because sometimes they escape".
