I doubt it...I would guess the reasons are financial and "historical".

Financially, the old argument runs something like...."why should the
Americans pay spend billions to change over...why doesn't the rest of the
world change instead"?

Historically it runs something like....with all the millions (billions?) of
products already created using the ENGLISH (not American) system, if
everyone changed 100% to metric, all those old products would (eventually)
be impossible to fix (without making cutom parts) since there wouldn't be
any parts available for them.

I'm sure there are lots of other factors involved but I'd guess this isn't
the place to discuss them all.
