I think it may be as described, but it sure does look crappy.  I’d be sure
it is documented with the dealer/Hyundai and keep an eye on it for a while.

The picture isn’t the best, but I’d say from looking at it that the
explanation you were given is likely correct.  Personally, I think it
isn’t a big deal, but then it isn’t my car.

Different types do stay soft to the touch.  Some get harder – though not as
hard as the steel.  Most do not stay "pushy".  They aren’t soft.

Not knowing exactly where the bubbles are, I can’t comment.  However, I
have had other cars with sealant on some of the body seams and the
sealant was painted over so this at least sounds plausible.

Matt

I don’t know "seam sealer". Is it soft to touch?

If there is silicone there, then it would be quite normal to see paint
adhesion problems.  Silicone is the arch enemy of paint.  It will never
stick to silicone and often, not to where silicone was since silicone is
about impervious to solvents.

Perhaps it’s not silicone but instead, seam sealer.  Paint generally sticks
well to seam sealer though.
