Why isn’t there a better AC solution for renting a place with sliding or casement windows?

I’m sick and tired of so many places having these kinds of windows and no air conditioning, and it makes me so mad that there STILL isn’t a great solution for this in 2026. Pretty much the only option is those huge portable AC units that sit inside and take up so much space – they don’t even work that well and require you to drain them. I live in a shoebox already, with 1ft of walking space around my bed, I don’t have room to stick an AC unit anywhere. It’s not even HOT yet and still my apartment is hovering around 77-80° with all the windows open and fans on I can run. Wish I thought more about the window situation before I moved in. Pls someone invent a vertical AC unit that can do in a sliding window.
