Or is the thing that matters that more and more countries are using it and in twenty years the answer will either be "Everyone uses it" or "Everyone but the US uses it"?

Actually, I thought we were pretty close to "Everyone but the US uses it" or at least "Every industrial nation who really matters but the US uses it".
I was in the 3rd grade in ~1976 and I remember the big US conversion push of that era. It was done so badly, at least as it came down to me. They where trying to explain the metric system as it relates to our English system. And it is just so silly to try an remember that a centimeter is 0.3937008 inches. You just need to know a centimeter is about |.....| this long (very rough estimate to make a point).
Oh well, I still use English measurements because nobody around me would understand me if I didn't.
