Airbags can deploy (erroneously or not) and the car can still drive.
If a car refuses to move because its airbags have been deployed (or think they've been deployed) then you could be stranded in the middle of nowhere for no other reason than a single part of your car is unhappy.
Your frunk can be bodged shut with duct tape.
The entire point of your car is to move from point A to point B. Disabling that feature should only happen due to physics, not a minor problem.
Airbag deploying means the car is totalled usually. It is a catastrophic safety feature that damages everything around. First, you have the airbags out, which interferes with driving. So you'd need to cut them out before continuing. Second, airbags don't usually pop out of nowhere. 95% of the time, the damage is severe enough that the vehicle shouldn't drive anymore before major fixes are done. Seatbelts are gone too, since they locked up during the crash and they are stretched / strained enough to not be usable anymore. Third, airbags explode when they are activated, which disorients you as the passenger, makes it hard to see what's going on. Fourth, many cars automatically disconnect the fuel pump, battery cables to prevent adding more fuel / sparks to a crash already.
Honestly, airbags popping aren't a "non issue" like you try to make it seem. Call a tow truck.
