any engineer/technician, even from the US, knows the metric system is far superior. The US doesn't want to change it, for economic reasons. Many companies would lose millions or even billions as so many would start buying materials and tools produced in the metric system, which right now are useless in the US because nothing built metric fits their tools and equipment. so if you use a drill built in the US nothing based on the metric system fits that drill. either ALL the US slowly adapts to metric, again HUGE costs on their end, or they just blindly stick with it.
Its less stubborn or stupid as it is just done because of economy.
As it is so often the case. The smartest solution is sadly often not the most economic solution

Liberia and Myanmar (Burma) are going metric now, so guess who that leaves being stubborn, lol
