I think you're forgetting that designing, engineering, and building a saddle with the right materials to withstand whole saddle heating while deforming only in the right areas, maintaining acceptable levels of comfort, reliability, and durability also costs money. You're simply assuming that proces is significantly less expensive than the heating element used, which I doubt is momething you can assert is true with any meaningful certainty. That's known as speculating.
