It's inherited retardation.
Aside from some manufacturing lobbies who hate even the mention of change, and talking-head firebrands in search of a misguided cause to exploit, I think most US citizens aren't really invested in US customary units. Apathy and inertia all-around, which benefits whatever is the status quo.
As for date format, if a change were to occur, I would prefer big-endian (ISO 8601).
