Parent categories not in url bad for SEO?

Magento by default does not include the full string or parent categories in any category URL only the very last

So a category that on a none Magento site might be

https://www.rattandirect.co.uk/garden-furniture/rattan-garden-sofa-sets/3-seater-sofa-sets

on magento it will be https://www.rattandirect.co.uk/3-seater-sofa-sets

my question is, is this bad for SEO?

Some search terms and KW’s are in that longer URL, in this case, “rattan garden sofa set”. In other cases, it might be a product’s material, colour or amount of seats or whatever

Not all the product titles would say this………

I believe there is a way to give the ‘breadcrumb’ to Google in the rich data, but I want to ask, on face valve, is this good or bad?
