I'm confused, isn't "inch" also a made up word? Aren't all words made up? > the original reason for "metrification" is no longer valid. This seems like a sill

This seems like a silly argument given that humans still have to write these systems, and all of the engineering and physics papers use metric. So any system interacting with anything physical (which is all the systems that would care about the use of metric/imperial units) would be more easily written using metric units.
Not to mention that humans still do many tasks that computers don't, and in those cases metric still has the same upsides it has always had.
