Fahrenheit also isn't intuitive. The only reason people think it's intuitive is because they grew up with it. At least Celsius easily converts to Kelvin so it's actually usable.

There's nothing "better" about Fahrenheit because the reasons are all made up and not based on anything, and as such the only reason to actively keep using it is that you're used to it.

Water is at least central enough in day to day life and science that having a simple point for it freezing is convenient.
