Plus, cutting and shaping foam is honestly a lot more work than removing the rear wheel and unbolting 2 bolts, swaping the shock out, and putting it back together.

I am not against cutting the seat foam though. Honestly, I don't think any modification would need to be done. So all of this can be addressed if/when it comes to it.

What ever works for your situation and preferences. Some people need to lower and cut the seat to get it low enough to be comfortable.

I was also going off the fact that you don't have to get dirty to cut seat foam. You'll have bits of foam everywhere but at least you don't have to get grease and dirt on your hands or gloves. Lol.
