I didn't say that they should, just that changes like this only occur when law makers decide they are necessary.
This has been the case with pretty much every safety initiative since the dawn of time, as people, especially businesses, will avoid change because it is either inconvenient or it carries a cost.
There are still plenty of people that avoid seatbelts (and in aircraft, harnesses).
