every electric (non-ceiling) fan I have ever used is operated with a dial with settings off, high, mid, and low in that order. Why does it go from off straight to high? Why not do the more intuitive “get higher the more you turn away from off”?
it is the same reason that almost all fans do that. the motor needs a lot more power to get started than it does to run and low setting might not provide enough kick to get it going.
