Give bake 1/3 of a batch of cookies in metric and tell me how that goes. Oh also, bake anything in metric without a scale. The use of 12's and 16's and other non-ten factors in imperial is deliberate because it helps you quickly divide by 2's and 3's. Dividing a metric quantity by 2 adds a significant figure, and dividing by 3 gets you a repeated decimal. Dividing common quantities by 5 is something that you do very rarely, in comparison.
The metric system works well for calculations that need to span many orders of magnitude, because it looks the same at every order of magnitude. It's also good for scientific and engineering calculations that involve chains of calculations because of this uniformity.
The imperial system works a lot better for intuitive and quick calculations. There are measures that are "human" sizes, too; a foot is about the length of a foot, and is a good way to measure "medium-sized" objects - those are 1-5 feet. Small things are usually 1-5 inches. Short walks are 1-5 furlongs. Long walks are 1-5 miles. Anything under an inch is pretty darn small. A cup, a gallon, and a tablespoon are all easy to approximately visualize. Metric units, thanks to the divisions by 1000s, only have one unit that's a "normal" size and usually that unit is too big to be "1" of something - a liter is a lot of liquid and a milliliter is tiny, a meter is half my height, but a millimeter is the width of a fingernail, etc. Metric users had to add the "centimeter," a dirty, unclean, not-thousands unit, to get a unit of size that measured small stuff usefully.
Metric fags are usually obsessed with measurement and precision. Their unit system of choice demands it. Imperial chads look at something and tell you that it's 1-5 of some unit, and other imperial chads know roughly how big that is.
The intuitive use of the imperial system is so good that the britfags mostly still use it, despite officially being metric cucks.
