Adding this functionality will:

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?

None of those: In modern cars you just plug those things into the CAN bus. One connector.

Most cars don't have seat adjustment motors. And as to others that have that functionality being able to operate it continuously: [citation needed]. Remember these are off the shelf German car supply parts, you'll find the exact same hardware in, say, a BMW.
