Not true. Scroths, with also happen to be DOT legal (the ONLY harnesses legal for driving on the street with) are designed for use without a roll-bar. As explained above in the event of an impact one of the 4 points on a schroth will "let go", effectively making it a 3 point belt, same as stock. The danger with harnesses is not being able to move out of the way of the roof in a roll-over, which you can do safely with a 3 point.
