Also, I feel like the linear nature (and being base 10) makes metric system easier to learn and have an intuition about. Although, another comment here said they find the metric system unintuitive for medium (which I assume are everyday) values. So, maybe I'm just biased on that belief

The imperial system (or any adhoc system developed over the centuries) corresponds to the scales of human body and condition. Le Corbusier attempted a synthesis of a rational (mathematical) system that scaled appropriately. He used the Golden Ratio as the scaling mechanism. The very fact of that attempt carries an implicit critique of using the metric system for human centric design. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hAE7WuQZL._AC_SY1000_.jpg https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hAE7WuQZL._AC_SY1000_....
