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”?

Modern fans exist that work with DC current, not AC, and thus haven’t those limitations. They even have like 30 different speeds instead of the simple low, medium and high, and other fancy features like sucking ground level air so it’s fresher.
