my experience is that whether seatbelts are worn or not has heavily to do with convention and social norms more than any objective view risks vs benefits. if you are in a vehicle with 3 other people none are wearing seatbelts, you are the only one who does it up, you are looked upon as weird. whoever is in charge (vehicle driver/owner) can sometimes enforce everyone wearing them but depends on the dynamics. After that, only legal intervention is left and the chances of this might be low.
therefor the creation and enforcement of a social norm is how to make people feel natural to wear a seatbelt. which is a minimal safety mechanism understood about for years with minimal drawbacks.

So why isn’t the dutch reach encoded into law? I’d say that’s about the same inconvenience as wearing a seatbelt which is to say basically none
