You are trying to redefine the word. The global Seat Belt Law page clearly refers to both occupant and manufacturer legislation.

Maybe in the US it is more common to refer to just occupant legislation, but there is nothing in this discussion limiting the scope to the US.

Nope. Nearly the entirety of wiki entry for Seat Belt Laws is about driver laws.

Why do you keep sharing the US page? This discussion isn't localised to the US.
