It was just because of regulations. There were a few years in the US when they had to have either automatic belts or airbags. It took a couple of years before the manufacturers got their shit together for airbags, so they had these things. Once they all had airbags, these went away.
I heard those were discontinued because they would allow people in serious accidents to be ejected from the car. Is that true? I never looked into it
