An incident where someone has their dog loose on their own property- if you are not 100% sure that your “friendly” dog will never leave your property then your dog should be tethered. Many dogs are fear reactive to strange dogs coming up to them and will be aggressive and it doesn’t matter how friendly your dog is. There are also people who are afraid of dogs.

If your dog is on your property then you shouldn’t have to worry about a strange dog coming up to them. Once again, the problem is not with the dogs, it’s irresponsible owners not properly controlling their dogs.

A key word here is "shouldn't". This indicates that you do have to worry about strange dogs, leashed or running loose.
Also correct about irresponsible owners. Amazing how many seem not to recognise their own irresponsible behavior and try to defend or deflect when it is pointed out.

i agree with you, i'd be scared to death to keep 1 of these guys off leash due to the wild animal issue. even if it's your property, i've seen some of the critters wandering around here
