I'm sure different cats prefer different environments. A cat that was born in captivity will most likely prefer indoors than a feral cat would. Like you said it's just opinions as we are not cats and can't say what they prefer more than another. But like I said there are definitely some benefits and drawbacks to every animal in the wild. I've adopted numerous cats over my life and have one now, I've been to dozens of shelters and there's nothing sadder than seeing animals locked in cages because of humans that were only born because of humans.
