Which can be handled by a p-trap on the condensate drain. Like on
mine.


Your right but what happens during the winter? The P-trap dries out and now
you can suck in sewer gases. Some times you can get away with running your
condensate line into a vent pipe when you have a small pressure valve that
keeps your P-trap full of water.
