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”?

Some fans will have troubles starting up if power is applied from a still state to the lowest setting.
Putting the “high” position between “low” and “off” mitigates that issue by ideally forcing the fan to be briefly run at full power, helping to make sure it starts up
