Mass consumerism and companies not caring.

Their target audiences are home flippers who just need the cheapest stainless steel appliances that look fine at a glance, and cheap landlords that don’t understand that they’re choosing themselves more money in the long run.

I don’t get how this would be cheaper to manufacture. They’d need to make five different knobs.

By knobs, you mean rotary switches, I assume. I think the thing is they cheaped out by not designing the switches they needed. Instead they just sourced whatever rotary switches they could find that had the number of outputs they needed for these weird, segmented burners, regardless of their potentiometer directions.
