The Systeme International is the default system of measurements and weights in science.

We are reluctant to change because tradition has worked for us but the changeover will eventually happen - if we want to trade with the rest of the world.

“if we want to trade with the rest of the world.”

Really? We don’t trade with the rest of the world as it is??

“if we want to trade with the rest of the world.”

One thing you are missing. The rest of the world wants to sell things to the biggest consumer market on earth. So they will build things to suit us. A good example is right hand drive cars. They are available for the countries that drive backwards. They always will be.
Even if China overtakes us someday as the biggest consumer market, the world will still be happy to build things to suit our large economy.

And conversely, they will buy things uniquely American if the product satisfies their need.

No, we’ve been brainwashed into thinking it’s “default”. The youngest system of measures has been spread around the world by leftists and useful idiots. It won’t last. We’re going to go back to twenty gerahs to a shekel and sixty shekels to a mina—now that is prophesied (Ezekiel 45:12).
