Honda parts are still really back logged. A family friend of ours just had their 2022 CRV totaled after getting sideswiped. Their insurance dictates new OEM parts and some of the parts were over backordered over 16 weeks. After you figure in storage fees at the body shop and rental car fees it doesn't take long to total one

I rebuilt a 2019 civic and you could not repair those pillars even if you wanted to. The frame pieces are cheap enough to pay a competent person to replace them.

In addition to deploying when it should, the other feature of a good airbag system is not deploying when it shouldn't. Especially if there's a secondary impact coming or it would prevent the driver controlling a still-moving vehicle. One less part to replace in repair is a bonus.
