seat heating

wait, how can this be a pro?
I mean it definitly is, but shouldnt that "feature" be a default one to opt out of for those looking at the one wrong thing to save a few cents on?

My Focus RS MK3 has a Recaro Sportster CS oem shell seat and this has no option for heating. As I know, other OEMs got this seat with heating (Range Rover etc), but Ford doesn't.
