Metric doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the base. Imperial units are mostly base 10 as well. It’s about having a consistent scale. You can do base 60 metric if you want to, but there’s not really a good reason for it when everyone’s already on base 10.
No, F is just badly designed with no sensible reference points that tie into the greater system… It’s like having 10k seconds in a minute, the day starts at 2:31, noon is at 8:29, and midnight at 18:52.

So does Fahrenheit have an inconsistent scale?
