You can have the Fahrenheit temperature scale when you peel it from my cold, dead hands. Metric is great for measuring size and weight and I suppose distance (though miles sounds so much nicer than kilometers), but the Celsius scale is too short until you get into really high temperatures.
0 as freezing isn’t bad, but boiling at 100 feels wrong. It’s not enough of a difference.
Fahrenheit’s number values may be a little wonky and arbitrary seeming but it gives a better sense of scale.
And I’m sure you are correct about that, but I acclimated to metric measurement for both length and temp at work. Measuring size is just better that way and I’ve abandoned imperial entirely even for home projects, and the temperatures we deal with at work are big, so the Celsius scale fits. Maybe I compartmentalized, IDK.

Like an amp that you can turn up to 11

Which is 99% due to you being used to that.
