It's because that's what you're used too. A normal person being between 50-100kg is just as intuitive as 100-200 pounds. Measuring the distance of a full step is about as intuitive as foots. Knowing that when the temperature is below 0 I can count on there being ice on the road and snow in the air is also very intuitive. 50 is hot as balls and when I'm in a sauna a hundred degrees is my limit for hot. The height of someone is between 1.5-2 meters, also very intuitive. All your examples are biased, and I get that, but you really can't use those examples to argue that imperial is more intuitive.
