A plus code is not intended to have the same function as latitude and longitude. It is intended as a replacement for "street name, house number" address parts where those don't exist and cannot be reasonably created. If you write Firstname Lastname WF8R+H6 Praia Cabo Verde
on an envelope and drop it off at your local post office, wherever you live, it will be delivered. If you instead wrote 14°54'59.3"N 23°30'33.8"W, it would not even be mailed out. You can think of a plus code as just the relevant bit of latitude and longitude for addressing within a locality.
