The idea is to have an INTERNATIONAL STANDARD - everybody using the same units. This makes commerce and other types of interactions between countries easier. For example, the pound, a non-SI unit for mass or weight, has different definitions in different countries - different countries use different pounds of different sizes. SI doesn't have such problems - the units are agreed upon by international agreement.
