I think you should check your calculation again. A 900% increase from 9 expected cases would be 90 cases.
Also the abstract already explains your questions:
So if the local waterplant is extracting ground water where pesticides leach in, that increases the effects, which is to be expected.
Finally there is plenty of harmful chemicals that are known to be harmful but thanks to lobbying remain legal decades after the fact is established. See PFAS and Glyphosate for current examples.
There is no evidence that glyphosate has any negative health effects. It's like MSG, just because you hear it, it doesn't mean it true. This is what we have science for, and a good 30 years of research.
There is plenty of evidence that the full chemical formulation in roundup is toxic - which is why they try to focus on the “active ingredient” glyphosate.
Plus it’s already been linked to fatty liver disease.
I see no reference to that link
