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?

Wait wait wait.
I see answers that explain how it’s cheaper to have refrigeration that goes on and off. I don’t know much about refrigerators BUT we just has a new AC system installed that is “variable” speed as in it does the opposite of your question. This AC runs most of the day at varying power/efficiency/stages. It’s a lot more efficient this way and uses less power compared to our old unit.
