Salted is worse for cooking since you want to precisely (or at least knowingly) control the amount of salt in the food. Before I met my wife I didn’t really spread butter on things like toast, and I never bought salted till we started dating and she wanted it. Blew my mind.

You are correct that that is what unsalted is for, but you are vastly overestimating how much most people care about being precise with their salt. I reckon only people who bake from scratch or make confections from scratch (and those are small fractions of the population) really take issue with the extra salt from salted butter.

It is worse for cooking even if people don’t pay attention to it.
