As a user of both Imperial and Standard International units, I agree with you. As a kid, one of my science educators spoke about the many benefits people gain from becoming familiar with basic units. I bought in and did so during the big metric push that happened around that time. I ended up more familiar with Imperial units. Then, later in life, I entered a young industry, with strong users of metric, Standard International units. So I did the work to build familiarity just as I did long ago. Took half a year and today I enjoy the benefits. And those are: Ease of understanding unit values meaning in my daily life. Ease of expression of same to others. Greater accuracy estimating. Easier computation and unit checks. And so on...
