AFAIK we use the Celsius decimal point.

37.4 degrees is different to 37.9 degrees.

37.4 is a bit warm but normal human temperature. 37.9 is a fever.

I see no need or desire to ever use Farenheit in my life.

What do you mean "we use the Celsius decimal point"? Most if not all devices I own switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, but they don't provide a decimal point on one if it isn't on the other. And that wouldn't really equate, since the difference is more like a factor of 2 than 10.
