There are still many electronic components, even those made in the Far
East, that fit a 1/10" grid. If you actually use measurements in real
life, you need to be able to deal with any system you may encounter. It
is also not unusual to see dimensions quoted in a strange number of
millimetres which turns out to be an exact number of inches. And don't
bother trying to find a metric screw to fit a photographic mount,
anywhere in the world.
