22.5 is not the solution for your designing problems, it is just the simplest method for producing creases, since the references are very natural.

The square has 4 sides and each side has a 90 degree angle right? If you divide that angle in half, you ger 45 ° and if you divide that angle again, you get 22.5°. Most traditional models are based in such divisions of the angle.
