why do digital thermostats have both heat and cool settings, as opposed to a singular temperature control

Question

(e.g why does 70 degrees on “cool” feel colder than 70 degrees on “heat”)?

Interesting note. I had an uncle who had a system in his house that the thermostat didn’t show a temperature at all. You just tapped out cooler or hotter depending on how comfortable you were. It was supposed to be more energy efficient than seeing a temp.
