I’m currently traveling on a high-speed train and I’ve noticed that there is no single seatbelt on it. Why is this? Aren’t trains exposed to the same dangerous factors as cars?

All of the answers, here, are just plain wrong. It has nothing to do with the frequency of crash, but everything to do with what happens in such crashes. In a car crash, whether a head on or t-bone, the deceleration is HIGH; that is, fast deceleration. That means your inertia tends to throw you into the windshield. Most train wrecks don’t have such deceleration, meaning you are not thrown forward like a car crash.
