I guess supercritical CO2 can be a decent refrigerant as well.

AFAIU it's quite common in supermarket/warehouse refrigerators and freezers. Apparently upfront cost is slightly higher, but the refrigerant is cheap and there's no risk the next iteration of the F gas legislation will make your investments a dead end. And of course the environment friendliness is important to businesses that are concerned about their image.
