couldn't be more wrong, also we have this thing called insulation and water tanks. we already use water loop radiators here, there's nothing stopping us from preheating the water to last us through the night. also, wear more layers instead of being a wussy

This is not even close to being a general solution. Lots of places do not have water loop radiators and it is not an easy retrofit at all. Lots of people cannot even afford additional insulation for their domicile. Telling the average person "don't be a wuss" is not a viable strategy to get them on board with supporting green energy. Also heat pumps are the most efficient form of heating we have. They work best at a constant low/mid level, not completely shutting off for half a day and having to work extra hard to catch up in the morning.

Unless I'm mistaken, hydronic systems like those USUALLY require a pump to circulate the water.
