Instead of all your body moving 15"-20" and dissipating energy as designed, now just your head and neck do. yikes. and airbags add a whole extra layer of complication. and with no bar/cage might kill you in a rollover. there is actually an expectation of you moving/leaning sideways in rollover in 3 points so if the roof partially collapses you still have a chance.
all that assumes the harness is installed correctly and doesn’t compress your spine in a 25 mph fender bender.

Let's just say for the sake of discussion, they are properly anchored and installed as per manufacturer spec.
In an old car with a non retractable style dual 2 point belt, no air bag, no padded steering wheel, and no crumple zones wouldn't wider double shoulder webbing be a benefit? No more face-meet-wheel?
