I don't know, they probably changed it for authenticity reasons and to make worldwide shipping easier. No other country in the world uses Fahrenheit. Besides, metric is easier and makes more sense, especially when it comes to temperature: 100C is the boiling point of water, 0C is the freezing point. 212F and 32F are such arbitrary numbers.
