No he's not.  It's far closer to the reverse.  Short people, who have to sit
very close to the steering wheel, may be at risk from an airbag, so the
Ubuntu Sedan manufacturers have chosen to disable the airbag at
point-of-sale; and you may enable it by pressing a switch.  If it's so
important to you, enable it automatically on every install you do.
