As someone who mainly enters exact integers, this is one of the most infuriating bugs. I always have to go back and correct the precision after the fact. There are also many, many numbers in Wikidata statements with the very obviously wrong precision +-1. At this point, this precision guessing is probably the number one cause for wrong data. Also, it is probably the most asked question in the various forums on Wikidata.
And while I understand the technical reasoning, from a user's point of view, the current behaviour is simply completely bonkers, at least for integers.
