A common phenomenon. See also the ridiculous abuse sometimes
advised for a new leather saddle, usually from a guy who
doesn't ride one.

Right, like when someone advises one to SOAK a new leather saddle in Neatsfoot Oil which I have been told by a few makers or horse saddles is a sure fire way to ruin a saddle. Apparently the Neatsfoot Oil breaks down the saddle leather thereby softening it but also causing it stretch quite a bit in use.
