Haven't experienced Osaka Metro, but our city have its own metro with typical bench seat, from my experience I'd say I find myself constantly trying to face the front end of the metro instead. Also I do not like to make long eye contact with other strangers, which the cross seats would very much help with that.
I mean everyone has phones to look at nowadays but still!
