the fact that 20-30 points goes from freezing cold to death and destruction and fire is everything that's wrong with Celsius for weather.

F for weather C for chemistry K for astronomy

FCK one unit of measure.

Why is that a problem once you know it? I know 0 is kinda cold, 20 is kind warm and 30 is kinda hot.

Loss of precision. Most digital thermostats only display two digits for cost savings. I've had experiences with mini-splits that are too cold at 27 and too hot at 28.
