Require more IO, add complexity to any wiring harnesses, make repair or replacement more difficult. This all increases cost, probably more than a mass-produced seat motor used by other manufacturers.
For weight and cost, a proper design would have been negligible. Why do you think every other car isn’t made this way if it comes down to cost?
Rethink a motor designed to be used for 5 mins initially then occasionally in future? It’s fine for the design purpose. It’s even fine for the mode where it operates every time you get in the car (where it waits in fully back position, and moves forward when you operate a control)
Why should they think it to let it be used as a fidget toy?
If the motors need to cool down, they need to rethink their motors.

You don’t add cooling, you size the motors to have enough thermal mass and mount them to metal chassis.

How much weight and cost do you think that’s going to add?
