Assuming your dryer draws air from within your home, it will steal heat energy from the inside air providing 2 benefits - additional cooling for your home and drying your clothes. If you're already heating your home then stealing heat from it makes no sense. At best you've got a zero sum gain (exhausting to the interior) at a higher cost and complexity.

Most heat pump dryers actually use the heat pump as a dehumidifier. There is no venting needed.
