Isn't this considered sitting?

anyway why does the rules support those who wants to stand and not those who wants to sit like this (mostly in Asia I assume)

I thought it's more like kneeling, but ok, might be sitting. But what about the first rule asking for a surface that "suits solving while standing"?

Though yes, of course I'm just interested in pointing out the for us westerners unusual position and perhaps have the rules rewritten, not in invalidating the solves.

And this reminds me I still have to prepare my Edisons, I hope that'll make me just as fast as Syuhei.

This is a very normal sitting position in Japan. I remember learning to sit like this when I learned to play Shogi (not that I ever got any good at it (the game or the sitting)); I wanted to be as traditional as possible.

And I don't see why it would be that unsuitable for solving while standing. Can you not bend over that far? I'm much older than you, and I can.

I think the rules are just fine. :)
