Fair point. I guess I'm imagining "bike fit" meaning go pay a professional $400 when a simple adjustment could be all that's needed.

There are various possibilities there. Dry skin, sensitive skin, too much sweat, overweight taxing the body and all its support points, chub rubbing, as well as various fit aspects. The human body was not designed to rest most of its weight on a surface that narrow, so sometimes issues are natural. People are different as well. Some people are more stout and can handle more. Others are more delicate and at least need to ease into things or find various accommodations.

Another fair point, and you're probably right that fit should be checked first either way.
