My understanding is that you would only disable the front passenger airbag in the event of placing a child in a child seat on the front seat. Especially those child seats that have the occupant facing backwards.
Apart from that there are issues with small people having their seats sufficiently forward so as to put them at risk in the event of an airbag deploying. This goes for both the driver and the passenger.
IIRC Audi recommend that front seat passengers have their seats as far rearward as possible. While, of course, being able to hold the top of the steering wheel and use the pedals.
