We're in for a heat pump PR debacle right now: the cheapest heat pumps that qualify for a federal IRA incentive are HORRIBLE at dehumidification.
The only viable fix is a requirement for a dehumidification mode and probably reheat dehumidification from @ENERGYSTAR standards.

The curse is this will take multiple years to implement, in the meantime many thousands of people will get sick and their homes are likely to become unhealthy and moisture damaged. Both are like cancer patients - you are in remission, never cured.
The odds are high that this will create a nasty PR problem for heat pumps and set things back, not move them forwards.
