It's like how some people think hybrid cars are super complex, but with some hybrid cars, you forego the need for a transmission, starter, and alternator, so there are some simplifications going on at the same time.

AC is a heat pump... just one way heat pump. It's just the direction of flow which will determine if you are cooling or heating the cabin. Add special valve to your AC (and control for it) and you have got yourself a "heat pump".
People are so used to combustion waste called heating in ICE that it's sooo weird to "pay" to have heat
I know, I know... ICE have it for free, so why switch. If you aren't ready - don't. If I wouldn't be so obsessed with V8s I would switch now - it's good enough already, especially with current gas prices, where you need to do two transactions to fill all the way up
