Then you've only ever seen fairly new, modern cars. Seatbelt warnings are a relatively new feature.
Seat belt warnings became mandatory in the USA in 1972[0]. From the mid 1970s until fairly recently, the warning tone would stop after a few seconds.

I've known people who would just endure the warning noise until it stopped.
Many of them are just a light, and that's it. Or maybe the buzzer was burnt out lol.
My parents disabled a couple by pulling a fuse or cutting a wire, but a lot of their use of the vehicles was off road at walking speeds. They wore seat belts on the road.
Mawr’s out there driving his Model T around town.
I've had annoying seatbelt warnings on my cars aging back to at least the 90s.
