Then you would need lots of digits to write down some numbers, like the diameter of the known Universe in meters, the mass of the Sun in kilometers, the mass of an electron in kilograms, Avogadro's number, etc. This would be very confusing - it is much easier to have the number of digits shown in scientific notation, than having to count them every time.
