Isn't base 10 easier because you just add/remove zeros, and also we have 10 fingers to count..?

No, converting units is not a useful exercise. airplanes are measured in mm - even the full length is in mm not decameters or even hecameters (i had to look those prefixes up, spellcheck doesn't even know the word, but I think they are correct)
