My reasoning is that the period is a "stronger" punctuation mark than the comma, and it should be used for the more important separation.

yeah fahrenheit sucks lol it's hilarious when Americans are like "it's so intuitive" my friend that is not what intuitive means you just learned it since the age of 4
centigrade is cool because the 0 point is something that makes sense, if it's negative degrees out you could see snow, you need to be super careful when driving, and if you have frost sensitive plants outside you need to take them inside. what happens at 0 degrees fahrenheit? nothing? what happens at 100 degrees? the outside temperature is the same as body temperature? ok good, cool and useful scale.
like everything else in burgerland it's completely based on nothing, impossible to convert to normal scale, and also it's only used by burgerites.
I think it highlights how temperature is a uniquely underused scale in ordinary life, with anything that gives some decent from -50 C to 550 C being enough
Whereas millimetres and kilometres are still useful despite being many orders of magnitude apart
