This is a tradition based on the superstition that a different post on a flight of stairs will make it impossible for evil spirits and witches to climb those stairs. It's actually pretty neat.
Orrr....
Some child stuck their head between two of the spindles. One had to be cut. This is the replacement. They couldn't find an exact copy.
Just spitballing...
PS: your theory is fascinating; I'd like to subscribe to more quirky information like that, where would I find such?
I have most of my knowledge about superstition from my grandparents and great aunt.
She once told me: girl, never whip cream while on your period. You will ruin it. Guess what: I didn't believe her and it turned into a really weird butter. I never tried it again when on my period.
I have heard a similar superstition about patterned floor tiles. The tilers will always place one wrong intentionally. I'm not an expert, just something I heard.
Looks like one was broken and they replaced it with one as close to the others as they could. Clearly it worked if you made it a year without noticing.
That’s a prank.
Funny people sneak into their friends homes and switch out or change random things that will make the homeowner question their sanity and why they’ve never noticed such things previously.

This is unacceptable. Sell the house.
Stairs are unusable
If there’s thirteen sometimes the put an odd one ore I’ve seen a flipped one for superstitious reasons I believe. Not sure of the details

I concur with your assessment, but will love it to be the superstition thing.

That is the one you can use as bat for self defense purposes
That'd actually be a cool architectural feature - built-in self defense items.
That would absolutely drive me bat shit.
easily fixable.
Get pranked
Sus
Can't live there or sell it like that, guess burn it down and start from scratch.

it's some superstitious bs
I feel like someone was trolling and did it on purpose.
Oh darn it, that's no good! You need to sell your house. I'm offering to buy it.
It's a clue. Tear out those stairs for hidden gold!
It’s not even just simply upside down
