I know I'm literally taking the bait with this, but the argument about saying it's 10s in Celsius Vs it's 70s in Fahrenheit makes no sense, because you would just say the number or high/low/mid 10s and that tells you everything you need to know.
Nobody says "it's in the 10s" in Celsius. We just say "it's between 12 and 16". We don't have to shorten every thing like in the US. We even have words with many syllables. They don't scare us.
If it’s cold out, I say it’s in the 30’s. Everyone knows that it’s cold by that. I don’t need an exact number. I saw the weather in the morning and didn’t want to get my phone out to say “oh it’s actually 34”. Fahrenheit is just more precise for this.
Your example exactly shows that Fahrenheit is not "more precise", you're literally dropping the precision. In Celsius you just don't drop the precision, you'd say "around 12", which gives just as much info
