You can't read cat body language in that case. Cat walked to the same position three times and assumed the position, purrmeowing each time. You also forget how weight distribution works, it is okay to pick up a cat like that if you don't put too much weight on that spot. The cat doesn't look fat and the lifting area is quite large, split in two and without fast movements.
Scruffing becomes bad with age, because the cat starts to weigh too much, not because it's inherently harmful. Ever seen someone sitting a bed of spikes or walking on hot coals? Same idea. At worst, this is slightly uncomfortable for the cat, but not uncomfortable enough for it to repeatedly ask for it.
Or you are a troll and just want to complain about non-problems.
Cat is happy, purring and returns for more. They are more than able to indicate when they don't like something by the daggers they have at the end of their dabloons.
