No religion there, SI is simply better.
And the simply is the meaningful thing there. You have a base unit and common ten based multiples of it.
what do you do when someone want the rate in h**-1 or d**-1?
what do you when 4ma is 0 counts and 20ma is 16,384 counts?
where is the factor of 10 in those situations?
"power of ten" is useless once you get out of the classroom.
it's simply not better, except for those who struggle when the multiplier is not a power of 10. Not worse either, of course; units are irrelevant other than that they be well documented in their usage.
