where traditional units work just fine

I am a physicist and use metric or even more natural but obscure units of measure all of the time, however traditional English units work just fine because they are designed around quantities that humans actually use in their daily lives.

Yes. And Fahrenheit makes far more sense than Celsius. 0 Fahrenheit is near the low range of normal human experience and 100 is near the high end. These make far more sense than Celsius.
