The "seat latch problem" with motorcycles is usually the result of minor imperfections in the build process, in my experience.
The latch on my 2013 works quite well, so I don't think it is a design problem. It is fun (to me, anyway) to spend time in a warm shop, or on a nice day, to put a problem seat on/off so many times that I understand how it is designed to work, and then make the adjustments to fit to see that it does. That has "always" resulted in a seat that is both easy to put on and take off.
Good luck if you decide to do this. At least you will familiarize yourself with more of the different parts of your bike.
So there's that...
