Hell you can't even get power seats let alone ventilated.

Please share what you learn! I am very interested in that as well!You can get ventilated/heated after market seats through Katzkins leather. Not sure $ amount but preventing swamp ass is worth it to me. I’m actually asking local shops about them and waiting on a quote.
I bought a Ram Regular Cab pickup a couple years ago, and they wouldn't put the ventilated leather seats in it, so I had to go with "cloth". More than a temperature concern - the cloth seats began to show wear much sooner than any leather seats I have. So I had the seats redone with perforated leather by a competitor of Katskins - they're more durable and although no ventilation (which is usually air con ducting under the seat from up front, blown through with a fan), they are OK as far as temperature goes. But I too hit that remote and let the air con run for the allotted ten minutes before getting in that truck in the summer.I went with cloth seats for the heat factor. I would love to know, are cloth seats or leather + ventilated seats cooler in the summer? I'd bet cloth and no venting is probably almost as cool, and simpler.
I might be totally wrong, but I always thought the airbags were part of the seat and the cover just has the right preparations for the airbags to deploy through them.I bought a Ram Regular Cab pickup a couple years ago, and they wouldn't put the ventilated leather seats in it, so I had to go with "cloth".

BTW - something to consider...Katskins and the competitor I used, use the OEM pattern and also include the seat-mounted airbags if there are any. Not sure if my JL will have seat-mounted air bags as I'm still patiently (?) waiting it's arrival... Your local upholstery shop may be able to make up some nice leather seating for you, but will it have air bags?
