Metric isn't logical anymore or less than any other unit of measure. There is nothing more inherently logical about units of ten versus any other. What is logical, is a standard. Which we largely had with empirial measure before metric.

For example, rule of thumb is both logical and inherently convenient; albeit inaccurate. It most certainly is not units of ten and is tethered to human anatomy. But as humans are the only consumers, that is in fact logical.

Don't get me wrong, metric vs imperial doesn't keep me up at night. But imperial does provide an ancient connection to our past. A legacy. Metric provides a new center for new priests, built upon lies.
