It's not really running for maintenance purposes. Most people don't realize that the defroster runs the compressor just like the A/C does. One of the basic functions of A/C is to remove humidity from inside the passenger compartment. And that's the same thing the defroster does, so that's why is used the A/C compressor when the defroster is turned on.
