You've already gotten two real world uses here.

I'm not saying millimeters are a negative. Never did I say that. But I will say a base 10 doesn't have that many prime factors, so using measurement equipment where halves and thirds and smaller marked out can be pretty helpful. Metric measuring stuff never has that.

I'm just saying that if you are working with some kind of base size, and want to do stuff in fractions or multiple of that base size, the inch is a pretty good size. ๐Ÿ‘

I'm from and in Europe, and I don't use inches myself. But there are obviously good uses for it.

I have a hard time understanding why you would prefer that over using decimal places to be honest, adding decimal places together is much simpler than different fractions
