More detail about half from https://github.com/tex3d. half originally mapped to a fuzzy "partial precision" float, where some operations were designated as _pp, meaning the implementation was free to use lower-precision math for those operations (like 24-bit, but not specified for the language). All storage in host-visible memory would still be float. "partial precision" went away with DX9, eventually to be replaced with min-precision with a specific minimum precision an implementation was allowed to use. When "partial precision" went away, it simply mapped to float for DX10+. People could have tried to use it liberally when they thought 32-bit precision wasn't necessary, without explicitly targeting/testing API/hardware that actually supported lower precision.
