Don’t both buttons reach the same temperature via the same method? If so, how is this not seen as unnecessary over-engineering?

My electric oven has 2 elements.
Preheat is both
Bake is lower
Broil is upper
Makes preheat faster
This might happen with more analog ovens.
When preheating, you can get there faster if you’re using both top and bottom burners. But if you’ve got the top burner on for cooking, you might overcook the top of the food.
On more modern digitally controlled ovens, they can do that in software, knowing when they’re preheating versus just maintaining temperature. For older analog ovens, adding that logic can be difficult, so they might just use a second option on the dial.
