Because we like to make you do extra maths ;-D

For the lulz

Because it describes star systems

Detailed explanation-1: -The binary schema of digital 1s and 0s offers a simple and elegant way for computers to work. It also offers an efficient way to control logic circuits and to detect an electrical signal’s true (1) and false (0) states.
Detailed explanation-2: -A binary code represents text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system. The two-symbol system used is often “0” and “1” from the binary number system. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also known as bits, to each character, instruction, etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -computers use Boolean Logic by interpreting 1 as true and 0 as false while performing logical operations. numbers are represented in base-2 format in varying groups of bits according to the application (some numbers are represented by 16 bits, others by 32 bits, and some others by 64 bits).
Detailed explanation-4: -Computers use voltages and since voltages changes often, no specific voltage is set for each number in the decimal system. For this reason, binary is measured as a two-state system i.e. on or off. Also, to keep calculations simple and convert into binary online, computers use the binary number system.
