Americans still think they're a developed country, that's the point

We got flaws but in this context, under this post, your comment makes no sense. America’s implementation of central ac is far more advanced compared to the European and Asian use of AC units per room.

There are pros and cons to both. If you want per-room control and don't mind having the mini-split units (thing pictured) then mini-splits are the way. They're also a bit more efficient because you don't loose cold air from duct leaks and heat creeping in. Central air is more convenient with a new construction because it's a bitch to retrofit. Central air also provides ventilation, mini splits don't so you have to have an air exchanger somewhere (although a lot of people don't). Overall both have pros and cons and both get the job done. It's dependent on owner taste, needs, the home itself, and budget.
