The problem there is using inches.

  While many agree, and I for sure do, fact is manufacturing in a lot of the US is a mixed unit scenario at best. Much of Additive uses SI units, fortunately. One of the bigger players remains with Imperial units, unfortunately I do sales, service, support in this industry. One of the more hilarious queries I got recently was, "Does your machine support freedom units?" We all had a nice chuckle, and yes that shop works mixed and it's a pain point for them being a mix of older school and new school tech and people all over the map. They don't see a transition in the near future either. Too much of the work remains Imperial as does equipment that has a long service life ahead. The real problem lies in formats and software that makes assumptions about units, and or makes it all difficult to manage, or input / extract mixed unit data. I see meters used fairly often too. Not the same non integer conversion, but the other problems do remain.
