The "Technology Connections" youtube channel recently discussed awnings too. (And it had more or less the same message as this blog.)

And that has way more details than this. The only why supplied here is "we forgot" and "AC"

We have a fixed overhang on the side of our house instead of an awning. It’s a lot less maintenance, but it is a foot or two too short.

The problem is that we keep getting 20F-above-normal days in the fall when it lets the sun into the house.

I wonder if global warming will create a business opportunity for retrofitting houses like ours.

Rollup shades can help with that.

Why don't we use awnings anymore (2022)
