I don't think I've known a cat that didn't like their belly rubbed.

I think it's just a trust thing. Cat ain't going to like their belly rubbed if they don't trust you.

And the only cat I've known "not to like" belly rubs absolutely loves them, but he will also try to claw and bite the shit out of your hand while you do, which is why you use an oven mitt while giving them.
Like, he will literally try to bring you that oven mitt and roll over for you in anticipation.

Or maybe he just likes murder.

It's a cat the boundary between games and casual murder is very thin!

My kittens would grab on to you and bite your hand (not hard enough to injure you) if you pet their belly. I used to dust the floor with them when they would do it to me.

Yeah a kitten is going to think that means play time. Sometimes just walking into the room will make them think it's play time.
