Surely you're jesting.
"It's zero degrees out." 0 F is actually pretty cold. 0 C is slightly chilly, but nothing to get worked up about.
Zero degrees Celsius is the water freezing temperature, which is a very practical influencer (snow vs. rain, plants, crops, etc).
Just like with kilometers, centimeters are useless. (ever gone on a kilometer run? Weak. Mile runs are where it's at.)
Well an amount of subjectivism in comparing measuring units is inevitable, but reifying it goes a bit far.
