Lets make this illegal. If you want to ride with a passenger, buy a side x side quad.
How do you enforce it?

"Get rid of all the gear and stuff that people attach to the top of the quad which in fact raises the center of gravity."

"Roll bars... a single roll bar will go a long way towards protecting the driver in a rollover situation.. provided the driver can stay on the vehicle"

2. Less safe - seatbelts. Flash Walken covered this. Without roll bars or a roof, if you are strapped to a rolling quad, the first thing that hits the ground is likely your neck/head with no way to get out of it.

".... and thats where seat belts come into play."

3. Already been done - already designed for one person

"Make atvs ONE person only. Passengers negatively affect the stability and handling characteristics."
