Been installing a minisplit in my parents single story house this weekend and been back and forth between the attic (105-110 degrees, but 8ft+ ridge and some flooring), and the crawlspace (70 degrees, but 3-4ft clearance, fiberglass insulation hanging down, musty, everywhere you turn is a new spiderweb on your face).

I don’t like hot, but I’ll take the attic over the crawlspace all day long. The crawlspace is definitely worse, and I feel that way about most houses I’ve been in (unless it’s like a 3/12 pitch roof and you just can’t physically fit in the attic).
 
When I did resi service work - in the winter everything went in the attic - in the summer everything in the crawl
 
There's seasons when the attic ain't so bad.
There's never a time the crawlspace doesn't suck
