I don't consider the seats as being over-engineered. It seems to be just about the minimum amount of parts to do what is required.
I was working on a copy of the Universal carrier antenna bracket at work the other day. Now that is over-engineered. You would think the British were winning the war when they made that monstrosity. The alemite button grease fittings on what should have been simple hinge pins were especially superfluous.
