This is exactly right. People don’t wan to change, even if the new way is demonstrably superior. Look at the adoption of the Metric system in England and the (almost) adoption in the US.
Well, that is neat. When using metric and celsius:
1 kilometer is 1.000 meters.
1 square meter of water weighs exactly 1 tonne. (1.000 kilo also known as a kilokilo)
The vastly superior metric dozen is exactly 10.
Water freezes at exactly 0 degrees.
1 meter of water takes exactly 100 minutes - a metric hour - to completely evaporate when heated to 100 degrees. Doing so requires exactly 1 kilowatt of power.
Your last point is wrong, at least as you have stated it. Evaporation time is based on surface area, and the required power is based on volume, but you expressed the amount of water as a length.

UTC isn’t even demonstrably superior.
For example:
1 bushel is exactly 64 dry pints.
1 dry pint is exactly 107521/92400 liquid pints.
1 liquid pint is exactly 231/8 cubic inches.
We formally defined the inch in terms of the metric system in the 1950s as being precisely 2.54 centimeters.
Thus making the bushel exactly 220244188543/6250000 cubic centimeters.¹
¹ Unless you’re talking about an oat bushel, a barley bushel, a wheat bushel, or a few other exceptions.

Still, metric is way better.
