You mean besides tripping over them? A room type AC moves heat from inside to the outside. The outer part of the unit needs to be outside the house- not in the space under it, so that moving air can get rid of waste heat and condensed water. Mounted in the floor, the space under your house would be very hot and wet. However, CENTRAL air conditioning uses ducts to carry cooled air to rooms, and they are usually mounted in the floor.
