Because everything in the metric system can be divided equally.
Half of ten is five, half of five goes into fractions right away. metric keeps it to whole numbers.
In computer language, you do not count by tens. To do that you count to nine, then spill over to make one plus zero.
Go to 19, then spill over, and so on.
In computer numbering, you go to 8 or 16 then spill over.
Computers could not use our 9 plus a spill over because it could not be divided without fractions.
