Soft start capacitors
Should every ac have a soft star cap installed? If so, why don’t they come that way? Is there any downside? Thanks

The start or run capacitor in an air conditioner is not "storing" a charge to provide the motor with an extra kick. Yes, that's what capacitors do in a DC circuit, but in an AC circuit, they do something else.
In an AC circuit, a capacitor is used to alter the relationship between voltage and current.
The math is sort of explained here:
