That's not dedicated for sitting, you've just chosen to use it that way.

You already know what a chair is, you just don't know how to describe it.

Concepts mean their referents
There is no external referent concept of 'chair', each human has their own individual concept of 'chair'
Definitions are a tool for standardizing concepts, they are not the meaning of the concept.
Concepts overlap. A chair can also be op's mom.
Edge cases are expected and don't need to have a universally agreed categorization. You are not clever for pointing them out nor do exceptions invalidate the rule.
