Default Seats of commercial airlines

Hi Guys

I never understand why aircraft are equipted with lifejackets (which
cost money, makes the aircraft heavier etc) in case of a successful
crash landing and still they don't install the seats in reverse in case
of that same crash landing.

If it is much safer to face with your back in the direction that you're
decelerating, then why are we facing forwards in planes?
