There’s nothing nice or consistent about those fractions. A third of one is one of the other, but a third of that is four of the other? Imperial units don’t convert in any meaningful or logical way, you have to memorise the conversions. With the metric system, it’s all tens.

And the fact that there are no usable units smaller than an inch and you have to use fractions should drive any craftsperson up the wall.
