You might just not have a Brooks-shaped rear-end.
Or it may be that some folks just need to tilt the saddle a little.

I must be built a little differently as all my bikes typically end up with the saddle tilted nose down about 5 degrees. But for me this tilt is needed to put the pressure onto the sit bones and not onto the soft area where it's bad to have it. But the key is that we are all built different and if the saddle needs to tilt to avoid this pressure then tilt the darned thing.
