What annoys me is the way that under the floor is vented to the
outside! WTF? Vent it to the inside, then it stays warmer and dryer.

Warmer maybe but it tends to turn into a swamp.

No, heat reduces RH.


Unless it's well insulated, which most crawl spaces aren't, the warm,
moist air condenses on the cold walls.

There is supposed to be a vapor barrier between the living space and
the crawlspace. I am not sure what they do these days but it used to
be tar paper between the floor and sub floor.
The "gold standard" today is sprayed urethane insulation.
