    you don’t die just because you’re outside with no AC

    At wet-bulb temperatures of 35 °C or above you do, actually, if you’re exposed to them for longer. Your body can then no longer cool by sweating and just keeps getting heated up by the environment. And old people in partiuclar do regularly die due to heat even at much lower wet-bulb temperaturs.
