Passengers could always bring their own helmets if they feel they're safer wearing one.

EDIT: also, this doesn't explain prohibiting helmets for cargo bikes, too.

I think it's a PR thing. They don't want prospective passengers seeing their branded bikes as dangerous enough to justify wearing a helmet, regardless of whether that particular bike is currently transporting passengers.
