These circular arguments are so frustrating. They record it that way because it is published that way. They publish it that way because it is recorded that way. A frequent justification for inch-pound only is that they won't expose people to metric until people are familiar with it. People won't be familiar until they are exposed to it. That is why dual units are used to break the cycle.
