Base-2, like the US Customary volumes, has all the same scaling-made-easy properties, is strictly easier to work with as a maker (dividing/multiplying by two is waaay easier than 10, for, e.g., cutting wood), and plays nicely with computers. This makes it strictly superior on all of your metrics to the SI system. I suspect you want the US to switch to metric because it’s what you use, not because it’s actually better.
