We’re taught both metric and US customary units in school. I prefer metric for most things, to the point I have a metric-only tape measure among other things.
However, I’ll die on the hill that Fahrenheit is superior for ambient air temperature. 0 degrees to 100 degrees neatly encompasses the range of average surface temperatures seen throughout the year in the contiguous US.


The obvious question is: Of what?
Alcohol? Saltwater? Milk?
Water was chosen as it’s common and repeatable and an arbitrary scale was made. It’s logical but it’s not profound. Any accepted range of a repeatable pair of temperatures could be used.
I prefer metric as it’s based on logic and I’m familiar with it, but it’s utility is not because it’s based on water.
