Is this really the correct terminology? I'd say every AC is a heat pump, whether or not it can run in reverse, because that's how it works. It pumps heat from a colder place to a warmer place.
If it has been crippled so that it can't run in reverse, that's crappy and unfortunate, but it makes it no less of a heat pump.
Is that just your gut feel? Because there has been some preliminary research that suggest it's, at the very least, an open question:

An LLM is a language model and the gestalt of human experience is not just language.
Another way of thinking about, a non-trivial amount of training data is internet comments and blogs, which have an alarming amount of self diagnoses, non-professional diagnoses, and totally fabricated facts about mental illness.

It's a common pitfall to take yourself out of the equation when you are about to make assertions without evidence to back them up. The title could have been written as:
"Why do I feel everything is broken, and what can I do about it".
you will end up writing a completely different post as a result. a more sincere one, and one that is closer to the reality of the situation that needs to be addressed, and that is one's perceptions, biases, and feelings that come from our own personal experiences.
Not saying they are sentient, but the differentiation requires something which doesn’t also apply to us all. Is there any doubt we think through statistical correlations? If not that, what do you think we are doing?
There's a very material difference.
And if you look at the tick marks on the graph, it starts before 1960.
A compressor based cooler gets a COP of about 4 in the real world. I'm pretty sure this is an apples to oranges comparison to an expert (I am not one of those) but a factor of 3+ increase in COP is fairly noteworthy -- if it holds up.
That said, 1.5C is tiny.
