I feel like a proper Omafiets has a perfectly fine saddle. It’s the bikes made for sports, rather than transportation, that have the painful saddles, because supposedly you can’t perform if you’re not suffering.
There’s still a period where you’re breaking in your sit bones.
When I got my omafiets a couple years ago my ass was pretty sore for at least a month with daily riding. You aren’t really putting any weight on your arms or legs so your saddle is doing the heavy lifting.

Sport saddles shouldn’t hurt either, but they’re designed to be used with cycling shorts which provide padding without the friction.
