Fahrenheit is vibe temperature. It just feels good use bigger numbers to describe being very hot. “It’s 30 degrees outside” sounds hot but “it’s 100 degrees outside” is more expressive, like built in exaggeration. That could be why it is preferred by Americans.
No, it’s just because the US never really converted to the metric system. Degrees Fahrenheit are zeroed at the freezing temperature of brine, and there are exactly 180 degrees from freezing to boiling water because that was an easy number to divide (like the 360 degrees in a circle).

This is an argument that gets rolled out a lot but the argument is also based on vibes.
Celcius having zero at freeing is actually useful with weather.
100 being boiling, is also nice for cooking.
The rest is arbitrary, and cope from US customary users who can’t accept that metric is the same or better in every single way.

But really it’s because when you’re used to big numbers all your life, why would you limit yourself to puny smaller numbers
