ᐅ How complex are heat pumps in everyday use?

The discussions in the threads about heat pump consumption and supply temperature settings are full of technical terms, values, and configurations. It is sometimes mentioned that installers pay little attention to optimal adjustments, and that one should be more careful during the system design phase. From what I understand, incorrectly sized and/or poorly adjusted heat pumps lose their economic advantages. Therefore, I have three questions:

1. How much knowledge and skill does a homeowner actually need to acquire in order to achieve the cost-effectiveness they expect from their decision?

2. How likely is improper use by inexperienced users who simply want to have a comfortable temperature in their home?

3. What habits does a person need to give up when living for the first time in a house with a heat pump in order to achieve the expected cost-efficiency?

I haven’t followed the entire discussion closely, but the fact that someone is willing to be convinced in the debate and does not stubbornly insist on their point, and even apologizes for possibly harsh words, is unfortunately a somewhat rare attitude, dear @Alessandro, regardless of the topic at hand.
This exact mindset is something I wish we saw more often here, because after all, everyone is right sometimes and wrong sometimes, and it should not be about being right or dominating the discussion.
My sincere compliments!!!
