Tell that to Germany who have now hit 42° during summer thanks to global warming. If you really think that it’s a tiny minority that live in climates who experience those temperatures then you are not very well travelled. Note also that a lot of countries have a real temperature <38 but thanks to the humidity it feels >38. Farenheit is just another temperature scale. There is nothing more intuitive about it than any other scale. If we were always told the temperature in kelvin we would think that to feel the most natural.
Just accept that we like our scales because they are familiar and not because they are better.
What? -18C to 38C is a massive range. Only a very small percentage of people would experience temperatures outside that range for most the year.
