I think it depends on how cold is cold. They likely have different min temps before you start seeing issues. Though engine block heaters are also standard in cars where it gets cold so at some temperatures this is a “nowhere to plug the car in” problem for both kinds.

Not hard to add if your car doesn't have one. I've never needed a block heater in a car but I installed them on two tractors that we use to plow the driveway. My current tractor is this (particular) Diesel https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_Holland_TC30_HST_a.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_Holland_TC30_HST... but before that I struggled to get one of these https://www.pinterest.com/marshallwoodyar/john-deere-tractor-420/ https://www.pinterest.com/marshallwoodyar/john-deere-tractor... to start in the winter (even with the block heater) and probably killed it by switching it to a multi-viscosity oil when the straight 20 oil specified for it became almost impossible to get and could well be blamed for the hard starting.
