That's to keep you awake. ;-)

And because they were probably designed for people about 100 years

True.

My brother is an elder of the local kirk in Scotland and they fairly
recently decided to rip out all the pews and replace with movable seating.
Quite a large kirk that would seat some 500, and built in the mid 1800s.
And the majority of all that lovely pine had to be scrapped. A few were
sold to members of the congregation - but the rest were charged for
disposal.
