> Given how politically polarised the US is it'd end up as political football too I think,

it was a political football here back in the 70s when there was talk of metric adoption.

i do hope that people like stewart brand (whole earth catalog, coevolution quarterly, how buildings learn etc) feel some level of shame for the role their proseltyzing against metric, in spite of the good things they also did.
