It's probably more the padding under the leather that contributes to how hard it feels. The leather is stretched tightly across so it can only give as much as the padding underneath it allows. It's not like seat leather that has thick foam underneath.
I'd be surprised if the steering wheel leather wasn't a high quality leather. Pretty much all luxury cars come with good leather on the steering wheel. I've been noticing that many modern cars with highly "sculpted" steering wheels (like thumb slots and unique shaping) have harder surfaces. It might be because they have to glue the leather onto the wheel so it doesn't lift as stitching alone wouldn't be able to keep the leather on the surface of the wheel.
