My car idles around 600 RPM which is equal to about 10 cycles per second and redlines at around 6,000 RPM which is 100 cycles per second. This just seems like a more friendly scale to use. I am curious why we use RPM instead of Hertz to measure engine speeds.

Look at the range between 600-6.000 and 10-100. RPM is more detailed. Also RPM predates Hertz and is better understand by general public.
