It's to do with how I think about numbers, rounding, and margins of error. I don't know how to express that better, I'm sorry.
I was not raised using inches for anything. It's not a cultural thing, it's a use case I've found them useful for.

Taking it even further who the fuck uses inches or cms for vegetable cutting measurements anyway, it’s like, one or two fingers thick

Why not make it even more ambiguous by specifying the desired cutting width in “circumference of my dick”.

That’s too thin

Would that be flacid dick inches or erect dick inches?

Sure.

Recipes I use regularly say "2cm chunks" and the like. I've never seen one measure in fingers.
