Well yes but that's just what we

When the cooling system was controlled by cables fed to the various levers etc in the dash, then it made sense to have the various defog stuff there. It makes no sense to keep it there today when that restriction has been removed. It's what psychologists call "retained behavior" .. doing something because it was once useful even though the rational for doing it has long since gone.
And I just "typed" this message, even though I'm not using a typewriter, on a "keyboard" that is composed of neither keys nor boards.
