Wouldn't it make sense to have a built in pressure gauge on the high and low side. Located inside the outside jacket just before the king valves? It would reduce the odds of people attaching gauges to troubleshoot issues. Every time gauges are attached there is a loss of refrigerant.

What make sense and what they do is two different things. Gauges cost money x the # of units they sell makes it a no-go. Everything they do, cheap overseas capacitors, microchannel coils and 1 pole contactors that should be 2 pole and no pressure switches that could save a compressor on refrigerant loss……they won't put gauges on. They have a planned life cycle.

or you could just make them not leak…

Try these.
Less loss than a fly fart.

So would Serge protection, high low voltage monitors, high low safety's, on and on. Who's paying for all that.

No, we can't have pressure switches because we now have to pay for refrigerant leak sensors for refrigerant that will not sustain a fire if you hold a torch on it and pay for ECM motors and other crap that costs a bunch to replace.

After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

Next thing that will happen is homeowners' insurance rates will rise if you have R-32 or R454B due to flammability issues.
Insurance companies never loose
