On an endurance racing bike I don’t understand how anyone can stand the seats for that long

Because they know how to setup and ride a bike. It's a saddle, not a seat. When spinning the crank, they put almost no pressure on the saddle and they ride with half the body supported by their core, not planted on a seat.
