Complexity? You either need a drain, or a supply of water, that can’t be easy to work with, and unlike with a refrigerant loop, you can’t just reverse it to dry/wet things.
Yeah I am in the same boat. I operate a swamp cooler inside my house, even!
But I used to live on a hill in San Francisco, the first hill the fog would hit as it rolled in from the Pacific Ocean, and I distinctly remember the feeling of getting up in the morning and reaching between the hangers in the closet to take a shirt out, and feeling how they were all damp. Super gross!
As someone who lives in a desert climate where many people have humidifiers, this seems like a completely useless device. 🙂
Like a humidifier is for me, I’d be so happy to have 40% for a week but it rarely goes under 60
I wonder why there are no humidistats.
You know, a combined humidifier/dehumidifier that keeps a constant humidity.
Humidifiers are simple and cheap. Maybe the cost of a 2 in 1 wouldn’t make commercial sense.
Also, it would probably need two water tanks, as I imagine you wouldn’t want to use the drain tank as a clean water source.
Just guessing here.

Put this on your desk with a spigot on the side, and the humidifier on the other side of the room. Congratulations: pipeless pipe.
Utility companies hate him!
