I live in the south and they seem to be a rarity here. Most every car above the base models have heated seats for some reason. My wife loves it, but it’s useless for me. I think I’ve used mine once in 3 years.
Alot more expensive, heated seats ate insulation and heating coils, pretty simple, ventilated seats are more expensive, and because they are more expensive and more requested they are a premium
You can buy aftermarket seats for a lot of cars. Recaro sells them with adapters for a huge selection of European car models. They come with all sorts of extras like ventilation, heating, pneumatic multi-contour backrests and so on.
They do…but they’re a hell of a lot harder to find than an old hose. Idk how vented seats aren’t more common. Much more useful than heated.
Depends on the climate

No ventilated seats are objectively more useful.
Your seat will passively heat up from your own body heat over time. That is not the case when you need the cooler air from ventilated seats.
Come hang out in -35c and then talk to me.
Depending on the climate you might never need the cold but you’ll want the heat. And vice versa.
Most manufacturers offer them now, at least in the US. The problem is you usually have to pay for the most expensive trim level to get them.
