Can I please suggest gaming chairs should be a key player here? SecretLabs makes amazing chairs and I sit on one everyday. One of my female employees isn't too enthused about her's but she's the outlier. I also fully support/love the Hag Capisco. Have it as well and it is very very comfortable albeit a little tall on its shortest setting.

Gaming chairs are the absolute worst, when you compare it to real office chairs.

It's like comparing a tuned Honda Civic to a Mercedes Benz.

Man-child chair vs. ergonomic seat.

My secretlabs chair has a headrest, adjustable lumbar, height, lockable recline, armrest height and width and side to side. It might even have a forward and backward seat cushion but I haven't messed with that in awhile so I don't remember. I was very specific about this brand as an example and I think it competes very effectively with other quality office chairs. Your hyperbole is lost on me.
