So what, it gives much more granularity than Celsius, that’s the OPs point, and it’s why it makes sense to use it.

You can basically approximate a 1F change to 0.5C change (or 0.55C) for non scientific purposes.

  50F -> 10C
  51F -> ~10.5C
  52F -> ~11C

Unless you hate decimals, I don't think there's much granularity gained.
