Interesting thought.
I wouldn't buy a car without seat and steering wheel heating anymore. Much more efficient than heating the air (even it the "room" is relatively tiny in a car).
I guess the same principle (concentrate energy on a small target to get better results) is at play with Beefers and AirFyers.

If it’s an IC engine, the convection heating is waste heat from the engine. So the electric heaters in the wheel and seats are massively less efficient.
