Plenty of real leather seats that have done the same. I had a 10 year old real leather Volkswagen that did the same myself.
Meanwhile, I have a 11 year old Vinyl “fake leather” car with no issues, and a 8 year old car with PU pleather that looks nearly brand new. Ironically, the steering wheel is made of real leather and has started flaking in a few small corners.
I’m not sure how any of those anecdotes proves which is more durable or long lasting than the other.
