Because depending on the country, it is indeed true. Not many houses here in germany have an AC installed. Because it was just fine not having one a decade or two ago.
I live in the UK, and seeing air conditioning in a house is maybe like a 5% probability maximum. The story is pretty similar in places on the continent I have seen, except maybe bits of Spain and France. Sure, commercial buildings, trains (with a notable exception being hell the Central Line), and cars have AC, but that’s only for when you go out in the day, except for hotels that more often have AC.
Why is this whole thing of Americans thinking Europe doesn’t have AC? Are you guys dumb? Of course we have AC, even in places like Scotland.

I just saw a short on YouTube of some Irish guy talking about how he didn’t have or want AC
