It's a rebranding, and allowing the heat pump to be used as a heating system; a fair number of units "with heat" use a resistive heater, as the article mentions.

Ah. I've had one in my garage for years that was a proper heat pump, but never branded as such. I'm in a cheap hydroelectric powered region though, which made these things make sense for a long time.
