For example, when the Green Bay Packers built their stadium they had to have known it would constantly be snowing. Same with Kansas Citt Chiefs.

Unique weather for different locations is part of the appeal of football. There’s an added dimension to having a tangible home field advantage for each city, it adds some character. Some teams play better in intense heat, others in intense cold, rain, snow, etc, so it makes it more interesting.
Standard cold or bad weather wouldn’t cause or threaten cancellation like with baseball, only very uncommon situations like Buffalo getting like 3 feet of snow, KC have absurdly cold weather (still played) or lightning, things like that.
As others have also pointed out, the game was created as an outdoor game and building a dome wasn’t in the cards back then.
