The thought process being that there may be additional mechanical parts that sit below the seat and reduce the ability to lower the seat.
Multi-contour and multi-contour seats with ventilated/massaging seating are one in the same. Their vehicle mounting point, rails, mechanical lift and H-point (Hip-point) is identical to the standard Sport seats and M Multi-function seats (currently only available for international markets).

The only difference would be the actual size or construction of the seating itself: multi-contour seats are bulkier than standard Sport seats due to the additional upper backrest electronic adjustment and headrest design. The M Multi-function seats are even bulkier and slightly reduce rear leg room due to its design.

Otherwise all 3 seating designs sit neither higher or lower than the others.

I've enclosed examples showing the structure/backs of Multi-contour (with ventilation and massage) and M Multi-function seating.
