It only becomes a royal pain in the ass when you come from a metric-based country and have to learn the bullpomegranate to adapt to receiving education here.
Oh wait, you have classes in semesters? Lol you.

Which is why a more dynamic measurement is preferred. 2.54 could be very different from 2.5 depending on the girl on the receiving end. You don't exactly go and say, it's not 1', honey, I'm 1.05'. It beats the point of the imperial system to borrow the metric expression.
