What are those plastic inserts on the backseats supposed to be?

What purpose do those plastic square insets located on the backseats serve? Every new Toyota vehicle including the Corolla and Avalon have those plastic things on the backseats as well. They look like an eyesore and may make the backseat uncomfortable to sit on because it appears to be a hard plastic material.
Has anyone had any issues with them while you were sitting in the backseats?

For example Honda vehicles do not have those plastic inserts and previous generation Toyota models never had those plastic inserts on the backseats before.
For some reason Toyota decided to have those plastic things on the seats on all new model vehicles except for the Tundra, which doesn’t have it.
