> This is a very AC-centric mindset

This is probably a very US-based mindset. Parent mentioned British weather - Over here it's almost unheard of to have AC at home, most homes just don't get warm enough for it to be worth the cost vs shading, regular fans, other management techniques.

FWIW I've found that my electronics tend to get overly warm also when sitting outside in nice weather.
