On the other hand the metric system makes sense, and is really easy

people that will be using them won't notice or care about 1/64th off?


1 1/64" = 25.8 mm. I doubt that's a standard size in Europe. If his
measuement was off by 1/128" then it might actually be 26mm which also
seems to be a rather odd choice for a standard size.

If that's what they want to do, fine. That does not justify
misrepresenting the dimensions of their product. If someone sells
a 6mm plywood, they should call it 6mm plywood (which a lot of vendors
of Marine and aircraft plywood do.)
