Having one place to handle humidity, temperature, and exchange of fresh air makes ductwork the king of comfort and efficiency.

When your annual temperature range is -40 to 40 C (or a bit over 100 F) central air HVAC is a life saver.

At least here in Finland a lot of people do. Very popular choice when replacing old oil furnaces (and as a "replacement" for direct electric heating offcourse)
Geothermal heatpump is something people mostly think about when building new.
Air heatpumps with the inside unit start from around 1000€ and 300€ to 500€ for the install. The price is mainly based on the size of the house (and in big houses you will need multiple or one with multiple inside units)
A fireplace for the couple really cold weeks to cut down the electricity bills are popular but people had those even before the air heatpumps so nothing new really.
