strung together this:

Why does it need to be triple pole? Take the feed to the fan through a
standard 2 pole isolator and then wire from the fan to the switch (and
light, if needed). What am I missing?

The fact that there are three cables, besides the earth, to a fan with
over-run timer. Those being;

Permanent live.
Switched live.
Neutral.

Equals three poles that require isolating.
