Some electronics such as energy meters or car thermometers can only display “.0” or “.5” behind the decimal, instead of every digit.

What a waste of screen space.

You get what you pay for. Most people are fine with one decimal place, but the people that need more accurate measurements probably need them to be a lot more accurate, which make them a lot more expensive.

  • It often is just laziness by manufacturer.
  • Many cars have .0/.5 thermometers, despite the manufacturer could have added an accurate thermometer for a few extra euros/dollars/pounds/etc. out of the e.g. €20000.
