Besides, it’s not like they’re dog leashes on a collar. Every child leash I’ve ever seen is a cute little animal backpack where the “leash” is a long tail.
Yeah I used to run away all the time. Not maliciously or anything but my little ADHD ass had no interest in what my parents were doing and loved to run around, climb things, hide in various places, and all sorts of other things that aren't great when you're in the mall, or in the woods.
those things should be in your threat model, yes. and you should take appropriate steps to address them, same as putting a harness on a small child is sometimes appropriate to address the risk of them running off, especially into traffic.
I live in an urban area with that's full of young families with kids and the only leashes I've seen is when there's daycares/nannies out with 5+ kids to look after. No one I know with kids has even considered this as far as I'm aware.

Mine was a little backpack harness thing. The leash clipped to the middle of my back. I don't remember ever being bothered by it.
Every time I’ve seen a kid with one they genuinely don’t even seem to understand it’s there
Object permanence? IN this economy?!

we didn't have stroads and murder trucks for most of those thousands of years. kids don't give a fuck and don't know any different.
imagine being this concerned over the dignity of a 4 year old. let's revolt over bedtime while we're at it.

have fun burying your kids that got run over by some jackass in a vanity truck.
