the setting everyone claims to want and nobody actually enjoys.
means Low means positioned close to the ground or at a small value, point, or intensity — the opposite of high.
from From Old English *lāg*, via Old Norse *lágr* (meaning 'low, humble'), both descending from a Proto-Germanic root tied to the idea of lying down flat. So at its core, 'low' has always meant something close to the ground — the word itself never got up.
