Your example of construction materials still being produced in US customary units is technically wrong. The nominal sizes are still expressed in feet, inches, whatever.
The vast majority of construction materials are actually produced using metric measurements. Your 4'x8' sheet of plywood is no longer 4'x8'. It's 1220 x 2440 mm.
