In the winter, I'm trying to melt the ice/snow on my windows, not necessarily clear up any fog - and if I need to do so, that's what the A/C button is for...
It doesn't cycle on to cool down the air, it's to dehumidify the air which reduces condensation (fog). Next time you're in the car push on the A/C button and turn the temp to hot, it'll blast just as hot if not hotter than without the A/C engaged, it's there to "dry" the air and works much better with it than without it.
