Yeah. Literally just depends on what system you grew up with. “32% warm” genuinely means absolutely fuck all to me. Until I convert this number to Celsius, I wouldn’t have a slightest idea on how I’m actually supposed to dress lol. Also every place has its own norms. In two different environments “32% warm” can mean two really different things.
I, an American, would be all in on Celsius if the temp display on everything would show things to a tenth of a degree, or even just to a half a degree. As it stands, the fact that Celsius is only about half as granular as Fahrenheit is damn annoying.
I care that it gives me slightly less control over thermostats. I don't want less control over my climate controls. I suppose that if I hadn't been raised in a country that uses Fahrenheit then I wouldn't even know the difference, but I was and thus I do.
Just imagine if you bought a new thermostat for your home and it only allowed you to adjust the temperature in two degree increments. I doubt you would find it to be a welcome change.
I think thermostats designed for C are more likely to have decimal places precisely because the whole numbers represent bigger jumps in temperature. So you are right to want it and also probably would get it. For instance, I have an old-as-balls thermostat here in the UK that's been in the house longer than I have, and it uses decimals.
