In some places where air conditioning is omnipresent they're uncommon

Not really... People don't blast AC to their outdoor porch.

AC is everywhere in the US, and we still have plenty of awnings

Both of these are regional. Growing up in Ohio awnings were rare. And in some states ac is more or less common. I know in Washington's Puget Sound region it's more or less only in new construction because before the past decade or so it's been mild all year.
