A very worrying prospect indeed, especially if you don't have the ability of having the airbags decommissioned instead, as an option. It's not as if cars that were manufactured before airbags were a thing have been banned from roads or recalled by manufacturers for destruction.
To put that comment into some context, I did some searching to see if we in the UK could face such a dilemma, and came across this article, written just over a month ago.

This one line from the article shows just how lackadaisical the manufacturers are here with regards to safety:
"Analysing data from the DVSA, it found that more than 1.7 million cars in the UK still have an outstanding safety recall to have the airbags replaced, 11 years after the first recall was issued by Honda."
