In the cars I had in my younger days, the non-leather seats were trash. They ripped and wore out much faster than any of the leather interiors that I have had over the past 25 years. I see no pluses to any other covering. As far a heated seats goes, they are great. In the vehicles I have owned, if they were supplied without heated seats, it was only the controls that were missing. It was easier and less expensive for all of the seats to have the heater net in place whether or not it was used. I can't speak to cooled seats as I have never seen a need. Plus, the heated seats usually some with a package that gets a front windscreen and outside mirror heating system. If you don't live where there is ice, I guess it doesn't have much value.
