it's more that the foot is an aesthetically pleasing size than anything with fractions of a foot or meter or whatever. hold a ruler in your hand, it's well-sized to measuring things with a stick. anything bigger and you have a tape measure. contrast that to swinging around a meter stick, trying to get it level, etc

the only thing that fucks me off about metric is that for every unit the unit name is the "centre unit" except litres because a litre of water is a KILOgram so a 100% mix of a thing in weight per volume is g/mL or Kg/L rather than g/L or whatever

i think this is more because 1mg/l = 1 ppm

if the dweebazoids that came up with the meter did any usability testing they might have found out that the ideal length is about a foot and the ideal fraction is 12 because you can cleanly divide it into thirds

if you need a scale below ounces and inches then mm and g are fine but they may as well be arbitrary just like feet and pounds are
