It's more about the environmental damage. Plus fumes from non-stick pans can kill birds, so they're not entirely harmless.

I do use a non-stick pan, but only for eggs.

There is no environmental damage. You are reading articles about PAST manufacturing processes and applying today. No one uses PFAS or PFOA in PTFE pans today. And the amount of people with birds who use their pans wrongly (over heat the pans) to cause that danger is critically low.
