MPH is easier to change than distance. You only know the speed because of what your instruments tell you (or experience) so again precise measurement isn't really a bother.
It's small changes like weight/height in metric, temperature in C (we seem to have an odd mix of C for low temps and F for high).

It's not odd, it's attention grabbing, hot temperature in Celsius doesn't sound hot like it dies in Fahrenheit likewise you know its cold in Celsius
