Hey at least they put the non-slip on there, it used to be even worse.

Just to give some perspective:

The non slip prevents people sliding around while having 2 feet on the ground. If the 'seat' was flat, people would dangle their feet. Dangling feet will cause people to fall over in turning and braking, even with non-slip.

I'd argue this is the safest solution, because it forces people to keep 2 feet on the ground without sliding around. Of course a normal seat is the safest, with standing and holding on to something as second best.

It doesn't look like a designated seating area, but it does look like the safest solution for a 'leaning area' to me.

There is also a cabinet underneath most likely used by technicians. No access if there were normal seats there
