It's a silly argument.
Look - the people who need metric, use metric. Folks who have to do a lot of quick math with measurements. Folks who have engineering tools instead of woodworking tools. This is a good thing. Folks who don't actually need to change the way they think use what they have always used - this is also a good thing because we don't have to spend a buttload of money (that would be two shitloads - two metric shitloads make nothing. A thousand make a Kiloshit, though.) changing signage and textbooks.
So why get worked up over this? It's really not very important.
