Forza is a different kind of annoying with this, as they insist that if you use the metric system, you use kilowatt to measure the power of cars.
Which while a sensible assumption, is not actually the case in many (most?) countries.
Has no one told them about this over the past decade? Or why is this still a thing?
I have no idea how the use of hp in metric countries started, but it did, and it stuck, everyone knows the unit, so it's what we use. We use inches for screens (and exclusively for screens) for a similar reason.
