Many things in a home produce 'waste' heat (TV, people, pets, etc) which needs to be cooled in the summer but it is useful in the winter. Further, AC's end up condensing moisture from the air which takes crazy amounts of energy.
So, heat pump efficiency vs temperature only tells part of the story. With good insulation you will almost always need more cooling in the summer than heating in the winter outside of the arctic circle.
