I mean its a silly idea but I don’t see why systems would necessarily need updating if people chose to sell in imperial measurements.
1 - any seller would likely in any case have to list the metric equivalent anyway.
2 - all imperial measurements are now defined by metric measurements anyway.
3 - any company choosing to sell B2B in imperial measurements would likely find itself at a commercial disadvantage, as businesses in the UK almost always work in metric.
For constantly running applications it can be cheaper just to run a server. This fact has been used to avoid migrating to serverless by a lot of orgs i’ve worked with, even when it doesn’t apply to their use case.
