Being from NZ, I thought the same. But now I live in the Netherlands in a modern building with radiators for heat. In the colder parts of winter, just taking damp outside air in at around 0° and warming it up to room temperature lowers the relative humidity enough that I can find it pretty dry. It'll be somewhere between 35-45% at this time of year, which is on the low side for me.
