The United States has yet to adopt it which is why American products, highway speeds ....virtually everything is still in standard English measurement. It is very very slowly coming into use commonly in America. It is incredibly easy to use, but in school you are taught conversion, which is hard, and absolutely unneccessary. This turned many people off to it.
