There might be some of this, but after owning 3 S550 (a 2015 and 2 2016s) they all felt the same (no back cooling) but the 2018 I drove recently the back got super cold. I'm the same person in the same area wearing the same types of clothes and experienced 2 very different levels of effectiveness. Once my 2019 comes in next month I'll weigh in again.I don't really think it is a difference or variability in the cars.
The difference is in the people (perceptions/expectations), body types/shapes, environmental and clothing.
Body/clothing:
If you're 300+ lbs with lots of "back fat" your fat & skin are going to take the shape of the seat and block most of the holes from flowing air freely. Also, if you're wearing clothing that doesn't "breathe" and it also pushed tight to the seat as mentioned above you're not going to get very much cold air.
Now if you're a "fit person" with back muscles and an indent between them, some space in the lumbar area and your back doesn't go all the way to the edges blocking all the holes there is going to be more room / less pressure for air to blow through. Also, breathable clothes helps.
Climate:
Other variables like humidity, climate control settings/levels, outside temps, solar energy/heat penetrating the car, tinted windows, etc. all play factors in how "cool" you feel relatively speaking.
