Everyone focuses on why learning metric would be better in the first place, and they’re right. No one has come up with a good argument for me to throw away all of my measuring tools, convert all my recipes and relearn an entirely new system when the system and stuff I have works for me now.
Because otherwise it will be difficult to live in a country that has converted to metric, presumably. While I’m not pushing for us to change to metric (even though I know it would be good), I suspect the change would be fairly easy to adjust to.

This attitude is exactly WHY the US failed to actually convert back in the 70s

In the absence of any plans to do that, what’s the advantage of converting?
