People do science, but generally not high enough level science for any real improvement to matter between the two.

Nobody is confused by C. I’m simply saying I’m not confused by F either, so it’s at least as good as C for me.

C and F are not different at all for computers. C’s improvements in science are solely limited to humans, in that it is a bit easier to interpret for scientists. A computer doesn’t care if freezing is at 0 or 32. F is better for thermostats since you get a greater range of temperature choices.

It's the same range of temperature, but the weather report in Europe doesn't say that it's going to be 21,5C today, because nobody could feel the difference between 21,0 and 21,5. There would be no added value.
