Go out to the car a few minutes earlier and let it warm up properly.

If your radiator is losing coolant you have a leaking heater matrix. Test for that by warming the engine on tickover with the fan off, on a cold damp day. Once the engine is warm turn on the fan and watch for steam coming out of the vents and steaming up the glass.
And clean that grey plasticiser film off the glass as it attracts moisture.

As others have said, assuming there are no leaks into the vehicle, recirculated air off, air con on, always, make sure the side vents are actually blowing air onto the door windows and you are set to go, and see where you’re going, it amazes me how many people ride round with the door windows steamed up, also petrol engined vehicles warm up remarkably quicker then diesels, I also use Aldi’s finest spray on window cleaner for getting smears off the glass, it’s peanuts to buy and cleans the glass really well

I think it could be a bit of both.

What's this gimmick called air con?

I guess I was expecting the op to sit in it whilst it warmed up.

If it's anything like my old Beetle, it'll never de-mist if he sits in it!

If a car is used infrequently, setting the air control to recirc when parked may prevent the car "breathing" in damp air as it heats in the day and cools at night. However some recirc flaps open as soon as the engine is switched off.
Dehumidifier crystals work but are a faff.

I have a 2004 Nissan Almera and had the same issue I bought a large bag of silica gel badged as a dehumidifier and keep it in a well on the dash this seems to work well as long as you dry it out regularly mine only takes a few minutes in the microwave to dry it.
