They don't. A lot of measurements of length only end in metre and with good reason. Examples of length that dont are the foot, the yard, mile.

The metre is adopted as the SI unit for length. If you see metre and it has a prefix, the prefix is telling you how many metres. i.e. kilo is 1000, decimeter is 1/10, centi is 1/100, milli is 1/1000 for example
