They soften the apparent spring and damper rates but softer springs and dampers allow more wheel travel and body motion, which can be perceived as harshness depending on the type of road input. Softer dampers also allow the springs to store more energy in compression, which then return that energy more abruptly when the wheel rebounds.
Softer is not always more comfortable.
