Airbags are a "Supplemental Restraint System" - they're not designed as a
primary at all. (Hence: Supplemental).

That's not true. IIRC, they proved that an airbag deployed in an accident
without a seatbelt will cause more harm than good. That's why you're still
required to sear a seatbelt.
Also, a seatbelt interlocking device was tried in the 60's I think, but it
failed miserably.
