Isn’t T-shirt fabric too fragile for seat cushions?

From the sound of it, it's not going to get a huge amount of use. Movie nights, events, etc. And, they look easy to make. So, if they have a lot of T-shirts, and if the interior foam holds up OK, they can just rewrap them in new T-shirts as they wear out. I'm sure it'll be fine. Cotton is pretty resilient. I have T-shirts that are more than ten years old and still mostly intact.

Supply is endless and turnover may be desirable.

Yeah, this is a silly idea.

I thought the same. I recently saw a jeans couch and think that this fabric is much better for this purpose.

Yeah, it's not really going to hold up for very long.
