You would agree the tail would not be as strong as the hand? Put your hand behind your back and sit against it. Try similar with putting your hand between your legs under your bottom. Definitely not comfortable, just from compression aspects alone!

Hands do not equate to tails. Substantially different physiology.
"Attached" tails (Like we wear) do not equate to real tails either.
Most animals have no problem whatsoever curling their tail to the side
when sitting. No special arrangement needed for most tails, any more
than a RL dog needs when sitting in a chair, just put tail to side and
around one's self.
