In many commercial buildings, they have electric or hot water reheat in the ducts so that if the amount of HVAC cooling needed to dehumidify lowers the room temperature below setpoint, the air is heated back up before it enters the space.

Ideally the home would have a variable speed compressor and fan. Lower energy costs with humidity and temperature much more stable. Also won't have that blast of hot air in the summer when your AC fan kicks on.
