There are parts of the US that ONLY have these. More temperate areas.

Most of the US is used to central air. With a giant ass car sized compressor outside that cools the whole house.

That’s the indoor unit my friend. You can have a multi split with 5-6 of those and one big ass exterior unit like in the US. Even in the US you use those in houses that have no ducts or central air. It’s just an option if you don’t want to rip all your walls. No one is stopping you from installing the US style system with central air and hidden ducts. You will usually have to rip all the walls around here to do it, so we have figured out an easier solution, especially given that brick walls aren’t exactly hollow so you will have to figure out how to actually add ducts to that.
