Default crash bar

Why is it that in Japan, there are no crashbars? What is the point of not having one if a crash bar is only there to prevent further damage to a car? I can clearly understand why the US requires a 5mph crashguard, but why doesn't Japan? The way I see it, there is no advantage to not having one..

thanks

What's a CRASH BAR?
I think it's called "reinforcement bar"

It's called the crash bar as well as crash guard.

Huh?

If you have a JDM crash bar, why did you ask about the lack of one in Japan?
