Also note you can count to 12 on one hand and 60 with the other. That is why the ancient Sumerians used it. Base 10 was added to Roman abacus but they still kept the uncia (12) for some functions.

IIRC that wasn’t droop until the renaissance when they read Archimedes attempt to calculate the number of grains of sand needed to fill the universe with grains of sand, he used decimal and they asserted it was superior.

So you can consider decimal as tech debt:)
