If you take issue with defining units based on vibes i have terrible news about the second, the meter, and the kilogram. Basically any unit is arbitrary until it becomes a standard
The thing that makes any unit useful is being an agreed upon standard, which is true of both F and C. the “feel right” part is just how it got there. When Celsius stuck a thermometer in freezing water and marked its position, he called that 100 degrees based on vibes. Later on, a french academic decided that actually freezing should be 0 and boiling should be 100, and that decision was based on vibes. Why is it any different when Farenheit made a vibes based decision to put 0 in a different spot than celsius?
The arguments for Fahrenheit get stranger and stranger. For vibe designing measurement systems and now it’s got more resolution

This system was literally defended as “feeling right” versus SI
