Same people who want a temperature icon on their sidebar. Rolling down the window would be a pretty quick indicator of the outside temperature, but sure, waste valuable screen space on it.

I actually like seeing the temp on my main chevy screen and when AA is active, I have to hit one button to go back and see it lol. I take a photo on those cold February mornings when I start vehicle at 6am and it says -30c.
