If the air industry would go fully metric, which they should eventually, they would have to change many things, like the indicating the level in foots. That alone should hurt with many pilots I guess. They are just pushing the shift further into time in hope they never need to deal with it. There are many manuals that needs to be rewritten, pilot retraining, rules to rewrite besides changing the scale of a few meters in the cockpit.
