Could be. Positive seat belt signal means the driver and passenger are oriented in the correct direction to go face first into the airbag. If you are not wearing a setbelt you could be reaching over the back seat, turned around, etc. I have no idea if that is the actual reason, just thinking out loud. Seems more like lawsuit concerns than safety at that point, though.
