Sure, if I had asked them to adjust my seat or put a new seatpost on that would have happened, but there was no reason for them to be screwing around with my seat height.

If the mechanic is shorter than you, they will always lower the saddle so they can test ride it.
I doubt that many of them consider that a very expensive, professional bike fitting has been performed, and many may intend to raise the seat back up, but either forget or just don't do it.
