Wet bulb events aren't that simple to deal with. Grid stability doesn't exist in any of the poor and hot equatorial countries. Many people don't even have airtight housing which rules out aircon. If it was too cold instead they could just add clothing and blankets and survive.
It's cost prohibitive, a small hybrid system costs $4000usd which exceeds the average annual income of many equatorial countries. But you are right that if somehow everyone could install this system (along with an AC and the construction of an airtight room) then wet bulb events would be manageable.
