I wouldn't describe a human as something I would use my hands to work with.
Anyway if you asked my height I would say 6ft. If I actually measured myself eg for a BMI I would use cm or mm ~180cm ~1800mm neither of those are hard.
I don't really get why you're arguing against me on this. I know both units. Inches and feet are useful for some things, and I use them for the things I find useful.
I could have the opposite discussion with someone who only uses metric, that imperial is useless because it doesn't do X and they can't imagine ever using it until their imagined use case is fixed. Ultimately it's what you're used to. But if you want the human scale units then imperial is there.
