Of course you’re right. The point isn’t that one is better than another, the point is that Imperial was historically easy to share and use. There’s a sense among metric users that the imperial system is stupid, illogical, unwieldy, and useless (see the comic and almost every comment in the thread). None of those things are true, and the advantages of the metric system hardly ever come up for most people.
It’s easy to hur dur Americans stupid, but the reality is always more complex.
