Are dishwashers meant to do this? I’ve never known one to open when done.
Modern dishwashers do this. This is done to save energy. In the old days, dishwashers just heated stuff really hot to force evaporation of surface water.
Modern dishwashers can do this too, but there is an option to just open the door and let them dry naturally. This is a longer process, but if you do like me and program it at midnight... Then it has plenty of time to dry up fine.
My dishwasher does that. On the Eco cycle it opens the four at the end of the cycle to let it dry
This is something my mother used to do as well. When the machine was finished she opened the door and let it vent. I asked the guy installing our machine some years ago and he told me that in newer machines that won't be necessary and could even disable the integrated venting mechanism. But of course this depends on your machine...
My Bosch dishwasher does it. It’s a feature on more premium models.

My mothers Miele does it.
