It's all about proportionality, not raw numbers. The difference between 15 and 16 on a 20 point scale would be proportional to the difference between 75 and 80 on a 100 point scale. Similarly, the difference between 10 and 15 would be the difference between 50 and 75.
And I know that the displayed number doesn't necessarily reflect the actual value "behind the scenes," but that's why I like it. There's a little bit of vagueness that reflects real-life valuation of a player's skills. If an extremely precise number is given, it takes out some of the challenge of actually GMing and playing the game.
But yeah, in the end, it's personal preference.
