Your first 3 points, I can agree with. We will have to agree to disagree on the last one.

Can you feel the difference between 73F and 75F? No, you can't, don't lie.

As someone who uses their thermostat and regularly switches between 72 and 75, yes. Yes I can.

Fake thermostats which exist solely to give the occupants of office buildings an illusion of control are an entire product category. If I were to replace your thermostat with one without your knowledge, you would be just as happy turning it up and down all day.

From now on, if anyone needs an example of why Lemmy/kbin are better than Reddit, we can link to this thread :) It was nice to have a respectful debate with someone without it devolving into an exchange of simplistic quips.
