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

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.

I do wish they'd ban that horrid fibreglass stuff. That soft fluffy
insulation most people put in their attics around here. As soon as you
disturb it, it gets into your lungs, it can't be good for you.

Sprayed urethane isn't that great if you're doing the spraying...

It's more the removal (or disturbance) of the existing fibreglass that annoys me.
