Most people haven’t and most people complain about saddles. When you coast, where are your feet? If you say that one is down at the bottom of the crank and the other one is at the top, you are likely to be “sitting” on the saddle. People who hover tend to coast with feet together at 9 and 3 on the clock. They can put a little upward pressure to take the weight off the saddle.
Mountain biking, by the way, goes a long way towards teaching you how not to sit hard on the saddle as well as many other useful skills.
