Modern automotive leather upholstery use a completely different tanning processes and finishing system, utilizing advanced polymers and chemicals (urethane doesn’t require conditioning or rejuvenation) and as a consequence they do not need to be treated with aftercare products containing oils or proteins.

Completely agree with TOGWT -- I worked for a company that provides some of the products used to prepare and protect automotive leather, such as that used in the 996s. The creams, gels, oils and magic potions are doing little other than 1) easing/lubricating the removal of dirt from the seat and/or 2) getting soaked into PU foam through the holes and 3) making it temporarily smell like you did something worthwhile.
Many mild commercial products like Lexol, Sonax etc... do the cleaning job well if used regularly and sparingly. I just wouldn't spend too much effort on the "conditioning" bit.
