      Airbags can deploy (erroneously or not) and the car can still drive.

      If a car refuses to move because its airbags have been deployed (or think they’ve been deployed) then you could be stranded in the middle of nowhere for no other reason than a single part of your car is unhappy.

      Your frunk can be bodged shut with duct tape.

      The entire point of your car is to move from point A to point B. Disabling that feature should only happen due to physics, not a minor problem.

      Wanting to drive with a broken frunk latch = not being able to appreciate the improved quality of safety.
