We don’t let small children cross the street by themselves. That’s because kids have no concept of what a street is, or how dangerous it is. Same for cats, but add in plenty of predators and diseases. Outdoor cats have a much shorter life expectancy than indoor cats.
Yep, that’s my philosophy. Never had a kid age past ten, but they get to live such full lives wandering around the neighborhood until they get run over

It can be both
No, that’s because certain societies are okay with roads being dangerous, and would rather lock their children inside than regulate vehicles.
