A seatbelt wearing is very similar to sitting in a the seat of a car. Using ropes is very different from no ropes. Rope failure is probably more common than seatbelt failure so the safety margin difference may not be as great.

If your rope fails while climbing, it’s almost always user error (using the wrong gear, using damaged gear, risky placements, etc).
