The SI units for electricity fit in with the SI units for everything else. The relationship becomes clear if you look at the definition of a joule:
J=N⋅m=W⋅s
Notice that it has both mechanical units you'd naturally consider mechanical (newtons, meters) and electrical units (watts). We can break it down into more basic units:
J=kg⋅m2s2
Or we can expand watts to more basic, but still electrical units:
J=V⋅A⋅s
And now you have volts and amps, by which the farad can be defined:
F=A⋅sV
If you analyze this carefully, you will notice that a joule is a watt-second, and a watt is some ratio of current and voltage, but that ratio is undefined. This is why the ampere is an SI base unit, defined as
The ampere is that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 metre apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10−7 newton per metre of length.
So if you want to blame something for the farad being so large, blame the ampere. Or, blame the other SI base units referenced by its definition, the second, meter, or kilogram (indirectly, by the newton).
