How reflective is the Grade Point Average? (GPA)

As an undergraduate student I was fascinated and terrified by how a difference of 1% in your final grade could get you either a 3.3 (79%) or a 3.7 (80%). In reality, is the difference between someone who gets a 79 and someone who scores an 80 that big? Would you say employers and graduate schools and whoever else who cares about your GPA have an empathetic understanding of this? Do you think stressing about being below or above this arbitrary threshold is healthy for students?

(The GPA thresholds are almost very similar in a bunch of large North American universities I had looked up)
