I'm not going with the answer given.

If it is indeed a support for the car to reduce flexing wouldn't it would need to be connected to the shock mount areas to provide stability to reduce flexing. If you remove the rear seat as I have done in my ZL1 wouldn't I hear creaking from having removed the piece? The "chassis brace" concept but in reality not needed.

I would equate his statement to the possible actual usage of the back seats by passengers and provide support to the floorboard with added weight in that specific area. That area is reinforced on the sides to begin with. Remember the Gen 5 chassis photos with explanation of materials used and reinforcement.
