Don’t sweat it, if what you have is working for you, as you said it is, then it’s OK. Fan tips put out a spray pattern that literally looks like a woman’s hand fan as it exits the nozzle, you get broad wide coverage, which is good for entire yard coverage. Cone tip - spray pattern like an inverted snowball paper cup - good for spot spraying, or stream spraying, don’t get the consistent broad area coverage as uniformly for whole yard coverage as a fan tip.

Pic shows what a fan tip looks like. Most homeowners sprayers come with an adjustable cone tip spray head - your sprayer has this. If I’m spraying the entire lawn I use a fan tip, if spot spraying weeds or spraying along a house foundation I switch to the cone tip.

I use a Solo brand sprayers. More expensive than box store sprayers, but you can buy replacement parts if they break, come with a few different tips, etc. After having to throw away several cheap sprayers from the box stores when they broke - no replacement parts available - I finally decided to pay a little more for a better quality product. But others seem to have better luck with the HD or Lowe’s sprayers than I’ve had. A 2 gal Solo hand sprayer runs about $40, give or take 5 bucks.
