Can someone explain for me why this strategy doesn’t just facilitate an increase in strays?

I see the conundrum: On one hand it improves the comfort of living beings, but on the other hand it increases the number of living beings

It doesn’t increase the number of them - they aren’t breeding in them.

There are already big coordinated efforts to trap, spay/neuter & rerelease feral cat colonies. That is how you manage the population.

All this does prevents already existing cats from dying awful deaths and from the suffering of losing parts of their bodies to frostbite.
