Reasons Fahrenheit is better:
- 100 is too hot to be outside for more than a few minutes, and it's around the hottest you can expect it to get during a year in most regions, with few exceptions.
- 0 is too cold to be outside more than a few minutes, no matter how many layers you put on. It's also about the coldest you can reasonably expect it to get during a year.
- 80 is 80% hot, and so on.
- On your home thermostat, there's a slighter difference between a single degree higher or lower. In Celsius a single degree is almost two whole degrees in Fahrenheit, so F is much more granular. 
- Normal human body temperature is 98.6. So if it's over 100, it might be something to worry about.

If I were to steel man the Celsius scale, I'd say:
- At 0 you can expect snow and ice on the roads. 
- You set your refrigerator and freezer temperatures to just above and below 0, respectively. 
- At 100, water boils

What else are you a "maximalist" of?

it being a more human scale isn't intrinsic. it's purely due to what you're used to using.

I grew up in a Celsius country, and Fahrenheit is totally unintuitive.
