I like the reasoning. The switch is labeled "fast" so it must be fast. So I am going to relabel my switch.
OFF comes next to FAST for a reason. Switches are labeled that way for a reason. Engineer(s), that understands motors, chose to make it that way from the beginning.
If people that complain, had much control over switches, then OFF would be next to SLOW.
I have a wife that thinks that with enough complaining the FAST/SLOW will work differently. Forty years of complaining has made no difference. Maybe 41 will work.
