As much as I hate the social media aspects of this statement, I adore this comment.
The Kids Bike for a Discerning Parent is probably the true acid test of this - because they're guaranteed to outgrow it, and probably not appreciate it fully anyway, so it is the truest test of minimum viability with risk/safety/maintenance taken into account, and that stuff carries forward exactly as you stated.
Charge Spoon is my favorite saddle as well, and a brilliant value. Details like that on my overall builds are massive, and let me justify lavish stuff like a Luftkappe on my fork, or running a single (used) cushcore insert that means I quit exploding rear tires.
