You heard wrong.

Carbon fibre shatters upon impact which could cause shards to go flying and hurt others.

Steel / Aluminium on the other hand bends and crumples, helping to also absorb the impact.

Haven't weighed them, but I'm sure an aluminium bonnet will be the same weight as a carbon one, so any performance gains would be minor.
