Just plain lazy, like every trial bike I had in the 70's & 80's, not much fun for the pillion with their legs bobbing up and down.

Might just be an MOT thing?
I had a bike fail before because I had removed the rear set to fit an exhaust hanger, apparently if you have a rear seat you must have rear foot pegs whether you ever carry a pillion or not.

If it has the seat cover on (essentially making it a single seater) it won't fail and MoT without rear pegs.

Yea, and why is it very rare? It's just an '99 M900 not rare afaik, there's probably more of these about than many other Ducati ever made.

The list says there were 60 M900 imported to England in 1999. There were probably some grey imports too. Not common, but not really rare either.

No, black is probably a rarer colour, if it was originally black, but it's not exactly a rare bike. That's an interesting list though btw.
