Because typically one does not drive with a helmet on when on the street - greater risk of head injury. Bars will usually protrude out farther than your interior trim, creating a hazard if your head happens to bang against any portion of the bar - padded or unpadded - in the event of an accident.

My DD will have to have a 10 point cage in it for a period of time because the NHRA mandates it for the et's I'll be running. At least the chute detaches
as for padding sfi approved feels like a rock to the bare head (FSAE parking lot asshattery!!) and soft padding does nothing for absorbing impact. SAE safety lecture pics have shown this.
