It’s expensive to get them installed. Instead of ducts running all over your house, the refrigerant line has to run from the outside section to the inside section. It costs as much to get one of these as a normal central air system because it’s also complicated. Heat pumps are more efficient in certain situations so that’s the tradeoff.

Central heat pumps are a thing. You are thinking of mini split systems.
Even if we are talking about mini splits, they’re not hard to install. Any adult with a drill can do it.
Is that a ground source? I can’t use air source.
Mini splits come in air source systems, and can be quite efficient.
