That's not what I meant, but go off. Celsius is easier to use for lab work because all of the useful temperatures are multiples of 10, decimals are easy to do math with, and simpler to record. Having the baselines between freezing water and boiling water be 0 and 100 meant it was easier to do stepwise incremental heating back when you had to calibrate analog equipment in the days we were determining relative humidity by spinning these bad boys over our heads.
Metric is also better for lab work because it's easier to put onto the microscopic scale, all you have to do is keep dividing by multiples of 10 to millimeters, micrometer, nanometer, etc.
Kelvin and Rankine are only useful when doing theoretical science and some thermodynamic and quantum mechanic calculations. Also when you're doing quantum computing and attempting to approach absolute zero. Otherwise normal temperature values are too high to be useful.
