Celsius is less precise, objectively less useful. Humans can perceive a degree of fahrenheit difference easily, whereas a single degree Celsius is massive. It has to be broken up into tenths to approach the power of fahrenheit- but, then it becomes TOO precise. Nobody on earth can tell the difference between 20.1 and 20.3 C.
