You can make an argument against seatbelts on that basis, but it's not the one I'm making here.

I think seatbelts should be mandatory, but don't think it's sensible to mandate complex and expensive technical solutions for table saws, when safe work practices can also mitigate them entirely.

Safe work practices require humans to follow through on using them. Safety features don't.
