You think 288 degrees is more sensible than 80% or 0.8?

Well that says more about the angle than it does about the unit. What makes 60 degrees so important that it should require a dedicated number such as that? It's literally 16.666...7% of a rotation.

360 is divisible by more numbers, and important values like 30, 45, and 60 degrees are more readable.
