Ah, duh. That makes sense. Furnace knows to kick in the blower, but it has no idea that the AC is running

Just FYI, your furnace may not automatically run your blower, nearly every standard american thermostat installation has a separate G wire for just the blower that the thermostat auto-engages for heat, cool or air movement. Be careful and always try to find installation manuals for your equipment before screwing with it

Maybe that's the case, idk.
I'm still annoyed that Google/Nest pulled some stragatronics with the Nest thermostats.
You cannot run just the fan without having it set to heat or cool. There's a good 2-3 months out of the year where it's pretty mild and we'll have the doors/windows open and just want the blower to circulate air. But the only way to do it is to set the thermostat to Heat, disable scheduling, set a ridiculously low temperature so the furnace can't accidentally kick in if it's a mild enough day, THEN use the manual "run the fan for x hours" setting. We like the house to be mid 60s at night whenever possible.
It's the only thermostat I've ever seen where you can't just say "run the fan" without having a temperature setpoint.
