Correct, analysis is also a strong reason.
I would embrace the double precision (at option) for my micro-scale data.
So how do we go from here?
I once ago filed a request but it never got assigned.
I had some success in smuggling SetDataTypeToDouble into vtkThreshold
once, but the subsequent cases went unnoticed. I have grown quite some
collection of duplicate VTK filters that do nothing else but expose
SetDataTypeToXXX to the user.

scaling data while reading it only gets you that far, until what you are
looking for are not just Colorful Visualization, but quantitative data
analysis.
I have similar problems, on the other side of the number spectrum, with
astro-physics data. 10^50 numbers. We're now taking better advantage of
ParaView to calculate volumes, fluxes, etc. The units have better be
right, and it's easier to look at data in true scale.
I vote for no-scaling to get immediate feedback on quantitative data
analysis.
my 2 cents
