Unfortunately, safety has to be weighted against cost (and politics). There are plenty of technologies that exist that could save more lives but they are not implemented because they are not required because it was decided it wasnt worth the cost.
The only way to override the cost is if people start dying directly because of the seat pitch. And it would have to be alot of people over decades
