Windshield vents blowing warm/hot air regardless

I noticed the windshield vents always blow warm-like air, differently from all other cars I had which always blew some cooler air from the windshield vents, regardless of the 100F (38C) or 20F (-7C) temperature outside. I know I could just turn the A/C on and problem is solved but would like to understand if that is a problem or MB designed it to prevent glass condensation.

I always liked fresh air coming from those windshield vents better than A/C...just my preference. It seems like I have to keep my A/C on all summer long now.

I have noticed that the cabin air on our vehicle is always warm unless the AC is on. I think the ductwork pick up a lot of heat transfer from the engine compartment. This situation may change once winter arrives and the outside temps drop.
