You’re right it is absurd to open your window when you’re trying to heat your room. That’s why ventless fireplaces are silly. No contractor worth their salt should be installing them. They’re banned in California for good reason. It’s functionally identical to trying to heat your home with your stove.

To add to this: modern gas fireplaces are usually not ventless. This both sucks oxygen out of the room and expels CO. This is why ventless fireplaces and stoves require you to have an open window when it’s on. Modern gas fireplaces are usually DV (direct vent) which means they take in air from outside and vent gasses back outside. They will still heat your room, just not too efficiently.

The only way for a heat pump to dehumidify is to run in cool mode. The dehumidify setting works by only running the compressor enough to keep the coils just below the dew point. Because the hot side is still outside, it will end up cooling the room down a bit. A standalone dehumidifier keeps its hot side in the room, so it doesn't have this problem.
