Do seats generally provide any sort of structural component to a boat?

I don't think I've ever seen a seat that added strength to a boat (or maintained its shape). Folks change seats fairly often with no ill effects.

I hate the composite seat that came with my boat

What kind of kayak is it?

if the seat was a tad narrow and they were just made it fit.

That would be my guess.
