It’s not like you need 100 degrees of granularity in telling the temperature of the weather. Also, 0 degrees Celsius is by far the most influential temperature in day to day life, at least if you live somewhere it occurs.
If we could start from scratch, I would define an absolute temperature scale where water freezes at 500, roughly 1.83x the kelvin scale.
So 4xx is freezing, and the max survivable temperature is around 570. (Water boils at 683, but freezing and boiling can’t both be round numbers on an absolute scale.)
