It was designed to be aesthetic and practical and also to be able to easily do in your head, something metric lacks in large part. Science hasn’t advanced enough to create a consistent system by the time most imperial units were standardized. Metric has its own problem. People were way more autistic by the time metric was invented so it’s kind of goofy and combersome. The Babylonians had a base 60 system to make geometry very intuitive and easy to do in your head. This is why we have 60 seconds In a minute and 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day. These are nice ratios that are very human friendly when calculating without computers and stuff. They break down easily into integers so no need for pesky decimals.
If I ever become a great physicist in going to do all my physics in imperial just to troll people. Not really, I rely on chatGPT far too much for math these days.
