I haven’t, but it’s easier to divide things cleanly and quickly into 3rds when you don’t have to go down to 1/10000 of the whole length to translate it effectively.
It’s why standard metric sheets of plywood (that I’ve seen - probably varies from country to country but when I was in Southeast Asia and Europe) come in 1200mm x 2400mm, because 12 and 24 are more easily divisible into equal sections than 10.
This is the same advantage that the foot/yard have over the meter.
If you really need that level of precision for some reason you can just write 1/3m as a fraction.
Sure, but that doesn’t translate into real world as well, it doesn’t cleanly divide on a tape/calculator, which is what I was saying is an advantage.
But in the real world you probably don’t need more precision than 333.3 anyway.
