Your assumption here is that seatbelt and airbag laws are good things, and I'm not sure I agree with that.
Both are devices intended to protect people from themselves, and the laws that mandate them basically assume that people cannot be responsible for themselves. I disagree.
Also, those features have become major market features on a number of vehicles (as have ABS brakes, which are not mandated by law), even in countries where they are not mandated. Brands like Volvo started a market trend prior to any law, a trend which suppliers either respond to, or choose not to recognizing that limits their market.
