I feel like the fact that you used the term “feral” and put quotes around “wild” shows that you already understand that that’s a bullshit argument.
They’re also not everywhere in the Americas by a longshot, they’re certainly not in my neck of the woods.
Feral ≠ wild. Feral horses shouldn’t be considered the same as the wild horses that once existed in the Americas any more than domesticated dogs should be considered the same as a grey wolf, or feral swine as actual wild boars.
And at any rate it has been around 12,000 years since the last truly wild American horse existed, they’re no more a part of the modern environment than wooly mammoths are.
Umm we do have feral horses here. So there are "wild* horses in the Americas
