Then why do they make metal sleeves for them? *Why do apartments come

Why do motels always have their ACs in the metal sleeves? *I'm sure

I'd have to take a closer look, but doesn't enough of the AC unit
stick out past the metal sleve so that the air intake fins are past
the sleve and outside? *Or alternatively, the sleeve could be wide
