For those who picked "Summer" to make it colder, why? I see some of you post the thinking you use "Summer", as in it feels like summer, so you want it to be cooler.

But every thermostat without this weird dial works differently. Think of the one in your home...you turn it to "cool" to make it colder, and "heat" or "heat on" on to make it warmer. So why switch the logic when the words "Summer" and "Winter" are used? Is it just the wording?

"Cool" is a temperature reference. No translation needed.
"Summer" is a time period in which thermostats are set to cool things down. That translates into summer=cool.

It being hot outside during summer is irrelevant. We aren't talking about the summer air, we're talking about a summer thermostat.

This. If your car had "day" and "night" switches for the lights, you would switch to night at night. Not day, because day is bright and I want it to be bright.
