And the typical USian self-importance, "I can use fractions, so I'm not switching." Fractions work with SAE and metric. Conversions are a pain in the ass.
As someone who was forced to memorize and use unit conversions regularly, needless conversions tend to overcomplicate tasks and result in more mistakes.
Mistakes can result in death and needless loss. Ask NASA about that one.
