The "degree measure" of a circle is a social construct. We inherit it from a long line of users. At some point someone decided to divide the full angle into 360 parts. It's completely artificial. Maybe they thought there were that many in a year but it is much more convenient than 365.25 in a full ange!

I'm not disputing the convenience of it, that is pretty much my point. :D
