I’d argue Celsius makes more sense from a human experience standpoint. Too damned cold or hot is highly subjective. The freezing and boiling points of water are easy references.
Although technically the boiling point of water can change where you are in the world. But from neighbour to neighbour, you will have the same effects
I like it better for cooking, especially for sous vide. One degree C is too wide of a range, but 0.1C is too precise. One degree F is just right.
Conversely, grams are way better than ounces for measuring things. My coffee needs 700ml of water. I can get that precisely by measuring 700g on a scale.
Basically, measuring system purity is not a virtue. Flexibility is.
From a human experience standpoint, Fahrenheit is more meaningful than Celsius.
0°F - Too damned cold 100°F - too damned hot
0°C - Jacket weather 100°C - He ded

This is a terrible take for a lot of climates.
Easy. Just adjust your personal scale:
0°C = Jacket weather
30°C (humid) = Very hot
30°C (dry) = Tolerable
35°C (humid) = Too damn hot
On the other hand, if you like whole numbers Fahrenheit provides more precision.
0 to 100 is always easier to remember than any numbers in between. Oddly enough, it’s the metric system that is supposed to be better at exactly this.
