I've read some good arguments online in favor of Fahrenheit: degrees are more granular, so you can be more precise without needing decimal points; and in terms of air temperature it more easily approximates the human body (at above ~100 — well, 98.6, but it was intended to be 100 — the air is hotter than your skin, and below ~100 the air is cooler than your skin).
But yeah haha, imperial units of distance, weight and volume are trash; we all know it. I still have to Google how to convert feet to miles, and I was born here. Ounces to gallons? Oof.
