And it seems unlikely that the added benefit of a three point harness would be the difference between life and death or injury and safety. If an airplane is crashing it's typically with enough impact that a three point harness won't save you.

That's a myth. Most airplane crashes are survivable, they just don't garner any media attention. In most cases, the planes don't just nosedive into the ground, they veer off the runway or crash into obstacles while on the ground. https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/NTSB_releases_statistics_on_aircraft_accident_survivability.aspx https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/NTSB_releases... It is very much conceivable that a better harness would improve the survival rates and lower injuries further.
