Tomatoes are red

But in all seriousness- what’s the difference? Despite having gone to American public school I learned basic math (arithmetic for y’all across the pond...) so I’m really capable with numbers that aren’t easily divisible by ten since most things in life don’t work out so cleanly anyway. So we are going to give distance in a whole number for a large unit- followed by a decimal or fraction of a unit for anything that doesn’t fit a whole large unit wether it’s metric or not. Most people remember and use the measurements they actually use regularly. People who don’t know how far a mile or kilometer are- don’t generally need to. Because even if you know how many units that is- do you intuitively know what that actually is? Can you draw a rough meter or foot by hand unguided? I know a 10mm bolt when I see one because I’ve seen a lot. A sports star knows the length of their field intuitively and a carpenter knows an inch or centimeter intuitively.

Not more precise

If you use it to milimeters yeah

No. Not more precise. There are fractions of inches which can go down to as many decimals as needed before we get to units of measure not used outside theoretical physics. In metric, once you reach a mm, to go smaller you get into micrometers and nano meters. These aren’t commonly used. Si has small units too such as points, picas, and mils (1/1,000 an inch). These smaller units are almost always used in technical trades like precision machining. The metric system is mathematically simpler- but not more precise. Each system will at some point need to default to fractions or decimals as not all objects will fit exactly within the constraints of any unit of measure.
