I've adjusted mine twice in the last month alone because I needed to fold down the rear seats. But also sometimes you borrow your car to someone who doesn't have a memory setting. Or your car doesn't have memory seats and has multiple users.

I don't even want to do that shit on a touchscreen when I'm stopped dude, it should take less than 5 seconds so I can get moving.
