Unironically, the US customary system is really useful for things like carpentry and machining where fractions are important. You can easily divide most measurements by 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.
Most tradesmen in my family hate metric, but then agian only 2 understand it so :shrug-outta-hecks:
Also, metric superiority is usually a real reddit brain style take. Only people I know who irl who insist on metric are scientists who have little experience outside the lab, or one programmer who thinks Europe is a utopia and all manual laborers are dumb rednecks. Americans should just learn both tbh.
imperial units are roughly base twelve so it's easier to do multiples of 1/3. Marginally beneficial in practice, but imperial isn't entirely pointless.

How does this make sense? Couldn't you just measure anything you needed in cm or mm??

no, inches are magically fucking better somehow
