Why is the coolant gauge always perfectly in the center on my ‘99? Is It a dummy gauge?

I have a ‘99 Ford Ranger and the coolant gauge is always centered maybe closer to cold on the gauge. You start it, it warms up and then it rises to the center. Shouldn’t it be fluctuating? You climb a hill and it should get warmer, right?

I’ve got similar questions with the voltage gauge too, but I guess it normally sits around 14.

Is there anyway to make this coolant gauge more accurate?
