Why can’t we use imperial unit names on the metric system?

So 1cm = inch, 1dm = foot (more like baby foot), 1m = yard, 1km = mile

Also gallon for 1L and pound for 1kg

Why is the VOC so popular in the Netherlands despite it being the epitome of capitalist greed and harming the Netherlands to a large extent?

The VOC prioritized short-term profit over everything else, which is why the Netherlands, unlike other colonizers, has a very weak cultural footprint worldwide (and collapsed anyways).

Also, due to its greed, it was the VOC which settled the Chinese on Taiwan/Formosa (there were none before), making the VOC essentially responsible for the current Taiwan crisis.

Are these things just ignored on the Dutch school curriculum or do people just don’t care?
