It's the false allure that somehow the metric sounds smarter just because it is generally used in the sciences. It's just an arbitrary convention, and different trades use their own systems/units to make their own concerns more manageable.
Look at it this way.... NO ONE has ever gone to the metric system and gone back to the Imperial system because it was 'more manageable'. No one.
