That if the only country on earth making things in imperial was the US, there would be a greater economic incentive for the US to switch. Since that is not the case, and many countries are producing imperial parts, a lot of the supposed benefits of switching listed in all of these articles are simply not real. If there really were high costs imposed by sticking with the imperial system, someone would be making a business case for switching over to metric as much as possible. As far as I can tell, outside of labeling and government procurement, nothing actually forces American companies to use imperial, other than their own internal cost/benefit analysis.
