Premium Package Almost
I got a new to me 2017 911 S Cabriolet. The car has heated seats, ventalated seats and heated steering wheel but not the full premium package. Any idea why someone would not want the LED Headlights, 14 way seats or keyless entry. I think the base seats might be more comfortable than my last car with 14 way seats, but the other options seem worth it for the price difference. Any thoughts?

Some people like base seats and base headlights. Light design is take it or leave it. Same with other options. Seeing heated/ventilated but no premium or premium plus is not that unusual based on builds I have seen. Certainly the way I would have specced it. Heated/ventilated 4 way sport plus, Heated Mf wheel, base lights.

If you live in Florida as do we, why do you need heated seats and steering wheel? Besides my GTS without such things, we own a Taurus SHO that I could not get without heated seats and steering wheel. However it has air-conditioned seats and steering wheel.

Folding mirrors don’t add much value as the rear fenders are almost as wide as the mirrors (especially on wide body cars) and everyone seems to prefer the sport design mirrors which are not available in folding (and are included in GT/T/GTS for free). You see heated seats even in warm areas as they are needed to get ventilated seats. Same with heated wheel as it includes multifunction. Rear view camera is now standard due to the US regulations changing as of 5/18. Sensors are a rare option as people don’t seem to like the look of them and with the camera now, I would say they are not needed.
I should set up a configurator consulting service.

That's the beauty of the long option list. You can build it the way you want or hunt for a build you like on a used market for long, long time 
As for me, take LED lights and Entry and drive over heated/ventilated seats all day every day. Also I like 14 way seats and would not take a multi-function steering wheel. I'd also love to have a 5-lug wheels instead of CLs. But that's just me. YMMV

You seem to be assuming that the car was spec'd by the original buyer where cost/benefit is analyzed ad infinitum. However, most of these cars are ordered by the store selling them, and in my experience there is no rhyme nor reason in the options chosen for most of them.
