Exactly, ppl get hung up on the physical weather conditions but that 7C threshold is key, e.g. it could be clear roads but if it's -11C, having summers may get one into trouble.
Yes all weather are much better in the winter/snow than all seasons. The thread compound is actually designed to face cold weather and be under 7c. Of course winter dedicated tires will still be king but I'd consider all weather if I never wanted to swap my tires for example and keep them year round. All seasons I just don't see the point, I guess it's if you want a generic tire that you won't face snow/winter, you'd get all seasons.
