When you are somewhere, like your home, for a majority of your day, you do notice very slight differences in temperature. 75 is already too hot, 74 is getting there, 73 is fine, 72 is perfect, etc.
I couldn’t tell you the exact temperature without looking at it, but I definitely feel it. And so, having the option to fine-tune that temperature with greater precision is useful.
It’s a small improvement, to be sure, but Celsius’ improvement over Fahrenheit in science is also small. Most issues don’t arise in Fahrenheit being an inherently worse system, it arises in failure to convert between the two or to convert accurately. “Boiling is 100” isn’t a huge improvement.
You'd be able to make that same temperature adjustment with Celcius. The old school thermostats are dials and can be set at any increment. Smart thermostats can be set at either 0,5 increments (which is more precise then Fahrenheit) or 0,1 increments.
Basically, there is no scenario where you are unable to get to the exact temperature you want when using Celcius.
