This! the distinction is really important to understanding how they work, whenever one reads ventiliated seats, they pull air AWAY from the back side to dry and and feel cooler and dryer. Cooled seats, such as Fords, use the same tech as the quiet beverage coolers to blow cooled air at the back side. My guess is most OEMs go with ventilated because it is simpler gives basically the same net effect (less wet backside) and is less power hungry
