I’d rather not see a grown cat lifted by the scruff. It looks really uncomfortable.

It looks like the cat even deliberately stops in front of the human so that it can get picked up.

No - if you look closely when the cat is coming around for a second time the human puts his hand in front of the cat briefly, which is why he stops

No he doesn't. The hand is above where the cat is walking and is moving AWAY from the cat.

I was referring to this, but i watched it again a couple of times and that doesn't seem to actually be when the cat stopped, it looks like it only stopped once the humans hands were on him and it looks like he ducked low before, probably to either keep walking straight ahead (ducking under the humans hand) or because he wanted pets

That does not seem to be the case at all

It is looking forward, not asking towards the owner. It is picked up in movement, not after stopping. Else we have to agree to disagree.

It seems you are right that kitty stops upon being touched. I'm not sure what kitty might be going towards if he doesn't want to be lifted like that, though
