The Americans could’ve changed to the metric system if they could afford it. However, changing a country’s systems of measurement is a mammoth project of enormous complexity and cost, so I guess no politician want to make space for that in the budget when there are other things to take care of.
People just don’t really care enough to. And we already use the metric system in science, engineering, medicine, aerospace, military, and any science class in high school or higher. So what if our road signs and cookbooks are in imperial units.
Recipes being imperial is the dumbest thing ever and I always convert mine. “Two cups and one tablespoon flour” statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged. I will defend feet/inches though for very specific cases where you may be dividing something into thirds like sometimes with woodworking
