You might not be wrong, but your concern seems reminiscent of the fears raised when seatbelts became mandatory: That someone would get into an accident where the car went into a lake or pond, and the seatbelt trapped the occupants inside the sinking car.

That is, it's a legitimate fear, but such a rare occurrence that the benefit of seatbelts far, far outweigh the risk of this sort of uncommon scenario.

It depends on your driving style.

Do you find yourself driving into ponds and lakes often?

No, but I do drive sideways from time to time. I would hate it if my car applied the brakes at one of those moments.
