So you agree with me then
Using the Aircon to quickly demist works but turning this off creates the moisture that is not evaporated back into the cabin.

Correct.

The a/c will de-humidify, as long as the drain from the evaporator is not blocked and the water can get away.
Moisture vapour held in the air of the car condenses on the evaporator coil with the a/c running (sited next to the heater coil/ matrix in the fan housing).
It should then drain away to ground via the drain tube/ pipe when enough water is produced.
The only time it can be a problem is when the a/c is turned off with the evaporator covered in condensation. The evaporator will then warm and the fan will blow back the moisture as a vapour into the cabin. Then it will condense back into water within the car wherever the dew points are, generally windscreen and windows.
The secret is to NEVER switch off the a/c whilst the fan is operating if using for demisting. Keep the a/c on until you switch off the car/ blower fan. If you do all you will do is fire the moisture back all in one go, so seemingly creating more moisture.
If there is excess moisture inside the car either you have a leak coming from outside, or the a/c is draining water back into the cabin.
That's not correct either. Not using a mechanical system is not going to cause it to break.
