The French republican calendar was tightly related to the French revolution and the French society of that time and was probably never conceived with the purpose of being adopted by other countries. Whereas the metric system's proponents were people like Lavoisier, Laplace, or Condorcet, who tried to base the system on the principles of logic and natural phenomena. Undoubtedly a more 'global' approach. Sadly Jefferson was not persuasive enough at the time with his similar proposal to the congress.
