Seats have to be comfortable enough on the showroom floor to open the wallets of people with the "Head out on the highway" dream. Those of us who've outgrown that have other criteria when we choose a bike. We accept that bikes need to be tweaked a little and we know how to do it.
You young, skinny bastids can ride on a piece of plywood and not complain. At least that's how it was when I was young and 50# lighter. 
Yea, but nobody sits on a bike in the showroom for over an hour to see how comfortable the seat really is. Kind of hard seeing how the suspension soaks up the bumps on the showroom floor to.
That said Harley offers 22 different seats 3 bar heights and forward or mid control options for my Dyna so most people can find what fits them. The dealers have a demo rig to dry different combinations before you buy.
I find the factory setup on this bike fine but for real long rides I throw on one of these.

On the Triumph I just added a little extra foam to the factory seat but on the old Hondas the factory seats were replaced with Mustang aftermarket seats because Honda offered no factory options. Man those Honda seats squashed down to the pan in 30 minutes.
