I always thought that the argument is that metric time sounds nice but it's actually worse than traditional time because 24 and 60 have much more factors that are more convenient in every day use. You can split them in half, in quarters, in thirds, in sixths.
You can make that same argument for Imperial units like inches and feet and cups and ounces. That's why imperial units are still popular, because decimals are great for science and conversions, but 100 doesn't have many divisors.
