Why is it better to calculate the constant each time?

LOL. For much the same reason you want carpenters fractions. Humans find them easier.

1. Negative lengths make no sense in the real world.

Not so. Cut a panel the exact size of a hole and there is no room for expansion/beading/silicone/putty. If you have a 1 inch baton, you don't use 1 inch screws. So "-3/32", say, is not only valid but common.
