That is mostly because the international space community works with metric, so the Karman line is at 100km above earth, and converting to imperial units would be forced.
Remember, there are only three countries that use imperial units; two third-world counties, and a global superpower.
The US doesn't use imperial units: it uses "US customary" units. Some of them are the same, but others are not. For instance, a gallon in the UK is very different from a gallon in the US, which causes miles-per-gallon ratings to be quite different between the two countries. The UK's gallon is properly called an "imperial unit" since the British actually had an Empire; the US did not.
Colloquial speed yup. Not scientific speed which is m/s

The lamb in the fridge for the weekend is 2.3kg, I’m 5’11 and way a little over 14 stone as I’m far, probably because of the 200g of Brie I am thinking about eating tonight. I was looking at a floor plan the other day, the room was 6.5m x 3.8m

Here in Japan, TV screens are also in inches. But they don't call them "inches" usually; instead, they're marketed as "85 type" (for an 85-inch screen).
