So? You need to provide for getting rid of the waste heat regardless.
If you use the waste heat in the winter, that doesn't cause additional
waste heat in the summer.

That's like saying that water is better than air. Both are important.
Even when you have more efficient equipment, there will still be waste
heat, and utilizing some of the waste heat will still reduce your
energy costs.
