My cat hasn’t been neutered,and I haven’t been a pet owner before now (family has, sure, but since I was never in control there I don’t even know if they were), so no, your last assumption doesn’t apply to me.
As for your middle one, we do stuff like that to a somewhat lesser degree all the time. People have growths removed, and some people have surgeries to remove things that may cause issues in the future but aren’t necessarily doing it now, like removal of wisdom teeth. We can technically add in plastic and cosmetic surgeries, as some can prevent future issues, like breast reduction or weight reduction surgeries. They aren’t sex organs, which usually are only removed once they are already an issue, but that’s often due to society not wanting to accept that.
They used to castrate boys to make Castrati, but nowadays that can be done with puberty blockers and the like, plus doing it on someone before they can make informed consent is known to be bad. You can make an argument about the same for animals, though others would point out they can’t even give informed consent for stuff like dewormer medicine.
There are definitely people who want and or wanted to make permanent changes to their sex organs, from gender affirming care to just not wanting to have or cause pregnancies, which one could argue is preventing a possible future condition.
I gave an answer to your question, but you didn’t want an answer. You have a moral stance you feel you are right on, and you just want to shame others. Not everyone has your same moral stances, and all of your moral stances are not objectively correct. Neither are all of mine. Some are subjective.
There’s a lot of projection in your comment. So I’ll limit my response to that. Either you yank out your gonads with your pet and put your money where your mouth is, or I’ll keep on ignoring your hypocritical opinion.
