Why do air conditioners and refrigerators have to keep turning on and off to keep the air within a temperature range, instead of adjusting their output to maintain an exact temperature?

ITT: People in US not sure of air conditioning system. Not surprised considering Air conditioners were not common at all when I went. Only hot states seem to have it more commonly.

People are mentioning continuous variable speed but I recommend reverse cycle split systems, they’re basically variable speed you keep them on and they will hold the exact temperature over time and will save a lot of costs. They also make almost no noise and don’t freeze you and make you warm all the time. They are also not crazy expensive but will probably be around 500-1500.
