Never heard of shoulder harnesses for pax, maybe it was an Asiana requirement,
This is an FAA requirement.
There are multiple reasons for that but apparently combination of some factors like being at the front of aircraft, 'angled' seats (like herringbone arrangement) make you less protected hence requirement for beefier straps to compensate.
