Maybe even let us save a certain amount of stools permanently on our ship? (substitute captain's chair)
Currently they are so rare it feels like they havent even been added to the game. Even when finding one its a big hassle to bring it to the ship.
Currently it feels like the development time was wasted if we barely ever even get to use them.

Well it is sellable as treasure. Also raises your Athenas emissary for whatever reason.
Sovereigns bought mine last time for 84 Gold. Reapers buy them too, but never tried it myself.
It could be made the same as merchant supply crates, being unsellable at the outpost where it was purchased.
@alienmagi I wouldn't mind. Personally I don't exactly like them or use them. Always saw them as waste of time for developers and when you use them, doesn't look very 'piratey'. Especially since we can't play shanties or fish whilst on them.
@alienmagi on big islands where there used to be static stools (part of scenery) all of these have been replaced by the new type that can be taken with you.

I already know that, I read patch notes.
Do you really think people should sail to big islands and search for stools every time they join a server just so they can have a chair? Thats neither fun nor convenient, especially for people who hop servers for PvP.
Like I said, feels like a waste of development time.
Honestly, considering how many people wanted a cpt chair on sloop/brig I thought everyone would get behind this idea.

I'm pretty sure players who hop for PvP don't care about not having a chair on the sloop or about stools.
They are someone's fun side project for players to mess around with and not a necessity for gameplay. I don't think they need to be made more abundant, but I don't see an issue with having them purchasable either.
If it keeps some developer from burning out during what is probably a high-stress point in the SoT’s lifetime, it’s not a “waste of time.” Stools seem silly and pointless, and maybe the whimsy is the point. Or maybe they’ll serve as the base for more interesting features over time (like steadying EoR aim if you’re sitting, or enabling you to drink more grog if you’re sitting, or becoming awesome tools for a bar fight). Or maybe they’ll always just be nondescript sitting platforms that provide a little Athena bump and some pocket change.

I hop for pvp all the time and I want a chair on my ship. Why the random assumption?
Hoppers have to travel long distances sometimes just like everyone else. Its fun to mess around with a chair while sailing.

I'm sure there are exceptions, just like I'm sure there are players who like using the quest board.
I think they are supposed to be more common, but im not sure if they actually respawn if some one takts them, i think they spawn at their old locations still when the server starts, but when they are taken, they are just gone! I know of some locations that they do appear, but they just arnt there very often.

If I could buy stools, I would use them to protect my capstan. So, no - not a good idea.
You can buy or find tons of other items to do this, so I don't really see that as a reason.

Those items are limited - you get 4 at best, which is not enough to cover the whole thing. Add the stool, however, and 5 just might be. To my knowledge, the OP neglected to mention any kind of limitation, so until he or she does, it will be considered an OP idea in my book.

How many commodity crates can you buy at one outpost?

Touché.
...although to do that, you will have to raise the MA emmisary flag 1st. That may not sit well with your crew if they want to do something else. I suppose you could lower it after purchasing it, but it gets kind of tedious at that point, IMO.
