Fahrenheit just has more granularity for human comfort. I grew up on F and use C for pretty much everything now, but I still find F better for that one thing.
I’d disagree because in day to day life the difference of 1°C is granular enough (a 1F/.5°C difference won’t change my comfort in a meaningful way) and every thermostat that does need that fine of a granularity, usually works in either .5°C or .1°C increments, which are definitely granular enough.
Personally the difference between 68°F and 69°F isn’t all that meaningful, operating in 1.8°F increments hasn’t made comfort less easy to achieve.
But I’m not discounting your opinion, just stating my own. I realize everyone’s experience is different.
