You are right, massage and ventilation is weak at best and pretty much useless, but it comes with the finer leathers which some would argue is more comfortable. If you really don't want these, I would definitely pick sensatec over dakota.

Might be a market by market thing, I had a 2019 540i in Spain with Dakota AND ventilated seats.
Absolutely, better leather if only possible, but I wouldn’t even consider sensatec (read: plastic) seats over Dakota.
As to the durability, maybe the question is what’s the expectation of durability… If normal use, there is arguably no real difference between perforated and non-perforated seats. But if you want to use a G30 as a taxi, perhaps a seat cover is a good option. Based on my experience, no real comfort difference whether ventilated or non-ventilated, but I think the massage system makes the seat slightly harder.
