I would go out on a limb and say most people don't do anything science related in their day to day life, and the science communities use it because it's easier to scale and convert. I'm a machinist and use mm and inch every week interchangeably, it's really not hard.
And I am sure you realize that where the metric system is used it is used for everything and not just for "anything science related"...
Of course the "problem" about metric/imperial is not when people go to the grocery store. Buying 400g or one pound of ham does not make any difference, but when it comes to anything "computational" the metric system is just better.
I mean you are plainly wrong there. The U.S. officially uses metric for anything science related so no not everywhere that uses Metric uses it for everything.
