That is an extraordinarily climate-specific recommendation. It’s currently a fairly mild 30F/-1 C outside my house and even that is obviously way too cold to go without heat completely.

You are conditioned to think you are and feel cold. Look how cold some countries and regions get? The people working outside there are not a different species. The trick is to get used to it gradually. I didn't say it was fun or easy.
I spend a good bit of winter working outside but with physical activity it is much easier.
Do you have other ideas? I mean, it would be nice? I cant think of anything else besides migration.

As someone from said countries and regions, people living outside freeze to death here. Long before you get to that point your water pipes will freeze, leaving you without running water. The pipes will then burst and flood your house if you don't address it quickly enough. You can certainly heat it to a lower temperature and occasionally crack open a window for some fresh air, but there's a difference between conditioning yourself to be comfortable at 17C and -30C.
