Yeah, it makes no sense to me, a 44 year old English guy who was taught metric at school, with a little imperial because our society still uses it in certain places.
In essence, I think it’s because the Boomers still have a stranglehold. Few years back there was a story about a sign put up in a park somewhere announcing the distance to a local attraction in metres. Some local boomer kept removing the sign, or changing the distance to yards or some shit, as if the sign was meant only for his use.

Imagine having the emotional capacity to be mad at a measurement sign multiple times ha. I hope he cares so deeply about other issues too.
