Is there any sort of reason behind the plural of vetrouw here? Like why would it be plural?

It's not plural. It's a noun (het vertrouwen).

I suspect it's akin to a gerund if not actually a gerund. Mijn kat vertrouwt mensen niet. Ze heeft geen vertrouwen in mensen.

Is "trust" also correct for "vertrouwen"?

I was declined. I reported it but maybe there's a reason it's not accepted

... humans" is accepted but "human beings" is not. Any good reason? Thx

I think that is "de mens", for humanity/human beings, but don't quote me on that. Not 100% sure.
