I thought that on some cars the side and bottom seat trim, backs and headrests were "leatherette" and the seating materials are leather.
BMW proclaims in small print:
Leather upholstery: Leather on all seating surfaces; other components may be Leather or SensaTec.
Basically if it says leather seats it means on most cars that leather seating materials the rest is man made.
Leatherette or SensaTec can be washed with water based cleaners or using leather care products. Leather products work better for keeping the "leather " look longer.

So, does conditioning it with a leather conditioner actually do anything? Everyone still seems to recommend conditioning these "leather" seats.
