I think the real issue is to some people accepting discomfort is part of life, while other people refuse to accept anything outside a narrow zone of comfort and safety.
In short, some people are spoiled by modern life. Some are downright ignorant of anything to do with weather or dressing for weather & just assume HVAC was something that exists by default everywhere.

You reminded me of something my grandfather said. Being Born in 1882 and living his whole life in Maine, many things we take for granted didn't exist or were uncommon until his late 20s. I don't remember exactly how he said it, but it was basically," life in the old days was tough, people weren't tougher, they just didn't know anything different and suffered in silence like everyone else".
I think the difference is we know it doesn't have to be that way.
