> But, having lived in the U.S. and Europe roughly an equal amount of time, Fahrenheit is much much more accurate to estimate outdoor temperature with.
Of what use are the smaller steps with Fahrenheit ?
I can not tell if it is 30 or 31 °C outside.

Most thermostats I've seen allow changes of 0.5 degrees C. So it seems that the thermostat manufacturers feel that the majority of users can tell a difference.
And sometimes 1 degree C delta is too much for me in a room (e.g. 21.0 is comfortable, 22.0 is not, 21.5 is just right). So it's obviously a personal preference, but at least for me, I can tell a difference between 0.5 degrees C.
And thus for my use case, whole integers in F is a slightly superior user experience since it avoid fractions.
