Pretty sure what you’re describing isn’t floating-point numbers, but fixed-point numbers… Which would also work just as well or better in most cases where floats are used.

With the way most distros are structured, you should never need a reinstall, since reinstalling the packages will fix any issues with broken system files. Broken configuration wouldn’t be as easy to fix, but still something you should be able to fix.
The only reason to be reinstalling, in my eyes, is if you have a mess of packages and configuration you don’t remember, and want to get a clean slate to reconfigure instead of trying to figure out why everything was set up in a certain way.
I don’t use a foldable phone… But you can’t put a tablet into your pocket. It’s meant to be the dimensions of a phone, just much thicker, so it fits into your pocket, while letting you fold it out to have double the screen size. For all the issues they have, that’s a very reasonable and somewhat appealing feature.
