That’s not always the case tho. Sometimes cities just forget benches exist. My town has no real homeless issues but still lacks of benches for some reason and the public parks team would rather spend the money on touristy shit like “dancing fountains” smh
Also benches, like any public property, get vandalised, stolen and covered in bird and other droppings and need costly maintenance to keep in usable condition.

Send them a letter saying it would be nice for your old grandpa to sit on a bench and look at those dancing fountains.

And like any public property (like, say, roads), we have the mean to repair them.
What costly maintenance do benches need?
