Being killed by trees or light poles due to the roof caving in by being hit by one is so rare that the added cost in materials and weight reducing fuel efficiency that a reinforce roof would have is not worth it at all for car makers to design.

Such as design would also raise the center of gravity of the car making it far more likely to roll and thus more dangerous over all.
