Toilets are usually provided with seats as an insulator. Toilets are generally made of porcelain, and this material is cold to sit on. A seat will allow someone to sit more comfortably. Seats are generally made of plastics, composites or wood, and these materials will fairly quickly lose their "coldness" as a person sits on them. Compare this to a porcelain or stainless toilet with no seat. These fixtures will "take" heat from the person sitting on them. (The toilet will act as a large heat sink.) This makes the seatless fixture a bit less comfortable to use.
In addition, a toilet seat can be made with more surface area so it is generally a bit easier to sit on. We note that stainless toilets are made with wide rims because they are generally designed to be used with no seat. The "user interface" with the fixture should have a good-sized area to make sitting more comfortable, and a seat provides this. Use the link below to see some images.
