What Are Some Things You Regret Buying or Bought but Never Used?
I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

Probably because in a real racing seat there's a harness to keep you from slouching. I used to have terrible lower back issues with a Recaro bucket seat I converted for a desk chair. Never had a problem with it driving for hours when it was in my car (may it rest in pieces). Then it dawned on me that the seatbelt was maintaining my posture. Added a lap belt and the back problems abated.
Not only that. A racing chairs is not intended to be good for your back. It has a very different use, it protects you in the case of a crash. So unless you often get into car accidents while gaming, better to buy a chair that is specialised at ergonomics, not impact protection .
And it holds you against lateral G force with the gussets, which isn't necessary sitting still.
To be fair, the gaming chair also holds you against lateral GeForce
My race seat is super comfortable and it's a fixed back.
