It is intuitive because you are used to it.

Also isn't 101 also really really hot? Or what about 99? And how about 1, isn't that also really really cold? It is an arbitrary frame of reference you have set up in an attempt to make a non-intuitive system more easily accesible.

Lol it is the same reason why you all argue for metric though? Celsius is random numbers nonsense. Fahrenheit is a scale that makes sense. 0 freeze, 100 boil. Don't you metric heads love that shit or you just lying the whole time?

I'm not understanding your counterpoint... it's a scale no matter which system you use?
