People here don't like being told what to do. (Except when they do of course).
So it's basically being told you need something new that's shit and will cost you loads of money because some nonce somewhere is telling you that you've got to have one.
That rhetoric is also pushed by media organisations owned by billionaires, who for whatever reason push back on anything that has a whiff of combating climate change, despite the vast majority of people being in favour of being able to live on this planet. (not that I think heat pumps in and of themselves are going to save the world).
