Isn't a foot defined as 0.3048 meters anyways?

So its really a metric derivative

It starts with metric, so really it's just the next evolution of metric

Its mors like metric came and colonized it

Keep in mind, the reason it is like this is because its cheaper to base off metric than to define the standard by your self
