This is one of the major things that so enrages me about feral cat fanatics when they downplay rabies. They point to the low incidence of rabies among domestic pets as though it were not the direct consequence of previous generations suffering with the disease and, through herculean efforts that included never doing bat**** crazy things like TNR, driving it out of domestic animal populations. But like rich kids whose parents made millions working like dogs but who themselves have no idea how to earn money, we are squandering that incredible legacy through ignorance and laziness, not appreciating the chances we are taking.
TL/DR: Our present almost rabies free state is not the normal state of things and we ought not to take it for granted.
