C goes 90% of the way there because 90% of temperature usage in science is for delta-T. That said, you need to be aware of it so you don't accidentally use the occasional absolute temperature in C at some point.
Yes, C is useful in science because it's commonly used, not really because of any inherent usefulness. The network effect is the usefulness, and if F had that network effect it would be just as useful.
