You don't need decimals for everyday measurements. No one can tell the difference between 60 and 62 degrees F. With Celsius 10 or 5 degree ranges is all you need to know for weather purposes, and it falls into much more logical ranges.
Below 0 = cold, limit time outside 0-10C = wear a coat 10-15 = wear a jacket 15-20 = comfortable 20-25 = shorts 25-30 = hot 30-40 = limit time outside 40+ = thank you global warming; don't live here.
This is true in the sense that someone can't walk into a room and say "it's 62F in here" accurately, but if you're in a room that's 60F and you raise the temperature to 62F you can definitely feel the difference.
People can spend hours outside at below 0C temperatures as long as they're wearing the right gear. Some people even like doing sports outside when it's -20C.
But, you're right that most of the time people only care to the 5 degree range. It's a bit different when it's close to the ideal room temperature. If you personally like it at 22C and the room is set to 20C you will probably feel cold after a while. If it's 24C you'll probably feel overly warm. But, except for something like measuring a fever, people almost never care about fractional degrees.
