Mainly because you don't need a fogged up windshield if you are driving fast. Seriously, the defroster setting is where most autos go to if there is a problem with vacuum. If nothing worked in your dash controls, the one thing you would still need would be the defroster, so that is the default setting. Now, when you accelerate fast, the throttle is wide open, and there is no vacuum, or it is very low, so with low vacuum the control reverts back to defrost. It would be the same as if you un hooked a vacuum line and did not feed your dash controls, you would only have defrost.

Why would the air conditioning only blow air from the defrost and floor vents and not the dash vents?

I would think that is a vacuum or a linkage problem with the heater control assembly (where all the buttons/slides are for changing between floor/defrost/vent) Had a diaphragm go bad on one once, and in a jeep cherokee, a slight collision with a guard rail knocked a vac line off for the vent controls, and ac only worked from defroster.
