Sure, if you're downtown or something, but my understanding is that most people don't live downtown, but instead just outside of urban areas.
The OP is about a different country, it's possible 'most people' in that place do live 'downtown'.
But even if it's not most, still there's a whole lot of people in every country who live in bigger density situations, often there is no ground level outside space free for new installations. -
LOL no. Where do you live? Sure isn't south of the Mason-Dixon line or southwest of the Rockies. Only people in warm areas without central HVAC are in old houses where no one has been able to afford the installation.
lol. you failed to fully grasp what the other comments were getting at, and still you went in strong with a confident and aggressive tone. I commend you
I wouldn't want to assume, but do you identify as American by any chance?

Do these pe*ple not know window units exist???

Those only really work for American style up down windows. In Germany and most eu countries a different style are used. They are hinged on both the bottom and the side and you can choose which set of hinges to use. Very useful but not compatible with American style window AC units. If you google for “German window” you’ll see the memes.

I've seen the memes I just don't understand how no one has come up with a window unit that can be properly mounted to them. Window units have been around for decades and not one engineering company has capitalized the idea?

Say what? They sit on 1 sq. meter slabs. Are you thinking HVAC units are the size of RVs?!
They also need clearance, they're supposed to have like 15' free above them and a couple feet on each side

I can't really place where they're from given the picture, but I'm guessing something in the Americas south of the US? If so, there's probably plenty of space.
But yeah, it's possible, I just think in many areas, a meter square pad is doable.

It would have to be a pretty novel (and likely much more complex, less reliable, more costly, etc.) design to attach to a thing that has multiple degrees of freedom as opposed to an immobile window sill with a built in clamping mechanism. Also worth noting that window-mounted a units often introduce some gaps in the insulation that the window would otherwise provide. In America, no biggie on that, we build with double pane windows primarily and many existing buildings even still have single pane windows. The net loss of insulation (if it is even a loss) is easy to justify/mitigate with some cheap treatments like foam inserts. For European triple pane windows, the loss of insulation is still not a huge deal (especially if you account for luften), but it is yet another factor that discourages market penetration of a hypothetical window mounting solution. Window units have been around for decades because they are successful at taking advantage of the nature of American windows. Because European windows and building construction have a fundamentally different nature, it's not surprising that this approach has not penetrated that market. It's not as simple as capitalizing on the original idea, it would essentially be coming up with an entirely novel idea that may or (more likely) may not be viable

Dude climate change demands these. Have them powered by solar panels and its a win/win
Any energy from solar going to AC means solar energy not going to the rest of the house.

That sounds suspiciously like a sex act, not falling for that one!

solar produces more in the summer, when an AC is more needed

I love living in a country/part of the country that doesn't really need AC. Today is the hottest day this week peaking at 27°c but the rest of the week is like 23°c. Perfect weather to go to the beach to cool off.

I think the engineering would be so complex and so particular to a window type/size, that it's just not worth it. At some point, installing an external unit and wiring/ducting through the wall is actually the simpler solution.

And your point is?

Better building and urbanism should be the preferred solution. And solar panels can and should be installed even without AC

I agree with you, we should be building with higher urban density. Even in the country, build apartment blocks in the middle of farmland that can be efficiently heated or cooled. And the inhabitants harvest their own food in the vicinity instead of relying on imports. The solution isn't for individuals to get solar to power their AC, it's still way too many resources and embedded energy. A little social engineering, mild gulagification and we could easily solve climate change.
But that is no way to attain or maintain power or wealth, so we won't be doing any of that shit. You better read some Machiavelli you fool! How dare you suggest things like that here? 🤠🫠🥵

Very different to my German porn window...
