Carryfast:
10 gallons v 45.5 litres,
1 pint v 0.56 litres.
1 thousandth of an inch v 0.0254 mm,
1 mile v 1.6 kms,
A bridge sign showing 14 feet v 4.26 metres.
Do you want the pilot of the plane to measure where his wheels are above the ground on landing to the foot or to the metre.
Which makes most sense.Centimeter will suffice.
25 hundred, 1 thousand, 5 hundred, 4 hundred, 3 hundred, 1 hundred, fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, ten, so do you want all those figures to mean metres or centimetres, or yards, or inches your choice but if you get it wrong you’ll tear the gear off then crash and burn when it hits the ground.

Bridge heights?
4.0metres vs 4yds, 1ft, 1.48031inches. ? Yeah, right.If Carryfast`s plane hits the ground too fast it will hurt. Measure it in units of knots, mph, kph, m/s, or mach, yards per annum, light-years per lunar month, or whatever you like. The speed is the same, and too fast is too fast.
That’s why we do bridge heights in feet and inches not yards feet and inches.
So 4m is rounded down to 13ft at most 13’ 1’’ if the bridge is 13’6’’ that’s 4 metres, 1 decimetre, 1 centimetre just like if we were silly enough to measure it in yards, feet and inches.
So by your logic do you want all those height call outs provided to the pilots from the altimetre to mean metres or centimetres instead of feet including the final ten.What’s speed got to do with other than the fact that take off and landing speeds also aren’t measured in metres or km’s per hour.
