Why does my thermostat have a heat and cool settings?

Saw this question on Quora with an interesting answer.

The reason is to save money. Not the cost of the thermostat design, but the cost of fuel and electricity.

Because your thermostat is not set to your ideal desired temperature, but to a temperature that is a compromise between your ideal temperature and a less expensive non-ideal temperature. Heating during the cooling season or cooling during the heating season would sometimes move you AWAY from your desired temperature!
