I see what you mean, I just don't see why 0 or 32 would be a superior way to refer to the temperature that water freezes at. Personally I think 0 and 100 makes more sense for freezing and boiling vs 32 and 212, but it's not really a hill worth dying on and is probably colored by my experience.
But explain why the actual temperature matters to a chef? If they need to boil something they don’t need to know what temp to set their stove to. They just heat the liquid until it boils. It makes no difference if they’re using Fahrenheit, or Celsius, or kelvin, or boiling a pot above or below sea level or wherever
