No.

It's less likely to be regulation, more likely to be cost. Low speed requires more poles. Multipole motors are expensive.

Does anyone know what that might be, and a suitable replacement?

Oil wick. You can use cotton yarn.

Here my summer setup Running at about 50%, The variac uses 3W idle, the fan other 4W.

In America you could buy a 220V fan and run it at 110V.
