In addition to the other answers I think it’s important to note that sometimes it’s necessary to round up or down for real world reasons. If you have a truck that can carry 0.5 Toyota Corollas due to weight, you’re actually going to have a truck that can move 0 Toyota Corollas in most real work applications. You wouldn’t go around advertising that you can move 0.5 Toyota Corollas, you would round down and tell people you cannot move Toyota Corollas.
