For me, its because I grew up watching pro sports and collecting hockey cards that listed all of the players in feet and inches and pounds. I think even Canadian news still quite often talk in feet, inches, and pounds for height and weight. Even when buying wood from hardware stores, they talk about 1/2", 1/4" thickness etc.
