For context I just saw the post of the person who glued stones to the steering wheel edit; I mean the cover on top of the wheel not just the electronics

The wheel is designed to have a weak spot or seam that gives the expanding airbag an easy path to break through. As for the electronics they will (typically) be unaffected. The airbag portion of a steering wheel is usually removable and replaceable without the need to change the other components. Does that answer your question?
