Not too surprising. Keep in mind that at the time electricity was a luxury and there were very few home appliances that made use of it. The radio, the first piece of electronics more complex than a simple motor or heater that you might find in the "average" home, wouldn't come into widespread use for another decade.

agree - the person who had this would be somewhat like the modern equivalent of a non-technical person with a fully IoT'ed smarthome running custom controllers and audiophile quality home theater room 15 years ago.. wealthy, and willing to spend to have the latest novelty

The radio had more of a chicken and egg problem. Once there was a broadcaster, I’d assume there was suddenly a lot of radios.

Fans came more gradually because of the physics infrastructure behind electricity. And fans were more of a luxury than a radio that can be used all year.
