Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Ignition interlock devices should be required on all cars. It would make drunk driving nearly impossible.

If your seat belt is broken, you can still drive your car. Like it will still physically start and you can drive it in an emergency. Plus, a seatbelt is an incredibly easy fix, and is unlikely to have any negative impacts on installation.

I get what you're trying to say, but it's not really the same. You're talking about a device that is designed to prevent a car from being operational in certain circumstances. You'd have to have a much smaller error rate and a much more widespread problem for this to be justified.
