The US is not a metric country.
Grocery stores use mostly inch-pound units.
Highways are marked in miles and miles per hour.
For my drivers license I gave my weight in kilograms
but they put it in pounds with my height in feet and inches.
One can not buy a carpenter's square marked in millimeters.
Can you get the US to change?
