Bitcoin and the decimal system

One bitcoin is the equivalent of 10^8 satoshi. I wonder if someone could explain why one has not defined the factor as a power of 2,
as this would be a naturale choice from my point of view. Is there any deeper meaning in the preference for the decimal system ?
I'll highly appreciate your explanations and/or suggestions.
