As a start, note that the bottom of the graph contains only numbers with only small prime divisors; mostly 3 near the very bottom (since 3 is the where the maximum of log(n)/n occurs for integer n).

It looks like there's a point where the graph goes abruptly from dense to this pattern - a particular value of a(n)/log(n) - but that could be an artifact of the graphics.

Look at the graph of A001414. At the lower edge of the logarithmic
scatterplot
there is a set of fuzzy but unmistakable diagonal fringes,
sloping toward the
southeast. Their spacing gradually increases, and their
slopes gradually
decrease; they are more distinct toward the lower edge of
the range. Is any
explanation known?
