Lewis Carroll wrote math textbooks. I also like Cohen-Tannoudji's Quantum Mechanics.

I don’t know if it’s ever been used as a textbook but I like the infectious enthusiasm the author has for his subject: https://interpreterbook.com/

Susskind's Theoretical Minimum series is well written.

No one in particular but ones that write half memoir styled ones are nice because its like they're talking to you as if you're an old friend while waxing poetic about math or language.

we NEED a version of the "this is the fate you chose" copypasta but for people who pursued a STEM degree instead of one in the arts/humanities.

No and i don't want them to. Good texbooks relay information quickly and precisely. Any stylistic endeavor therein would be a waste of print.
