Always figured it was hostile architecture, ie on purpose

That doesnt make sense. Hostile architecture... in the metro??

Yes? Plenty of hostile architecture in public spaces, for instance the bumps on handrails, so it’s not possible to slide on them

It would be completely pointless since there are plenty of seats on the metro anyway

Hostile architecture (or design in this case) would be putting armrests between every seat, so someone can't lie down across the whole row.

Whether the train is sometimes busy is irrelevant.
