I suspect, from past conversations, that some of it is that when you design a house to be used without screens, then retrofitting screens isn’t optimal. Like, say you have a window of X area. The screen blocks, say, 30% of light that would go through. If you then put a screen on the window, then you have only 70% of the light that you normally would. That may well be darker than you want. If you design a house with the intention of screen use and want light from windows, you’re going to make the windows 130% the area you normally would.
Don’t know what you are rambling about. I have very normal windows in my European home and installed bug screens without any problems or disadvantages. There’s no trouble with light or air.

That creates some inertia.
