This is true of any units. A lot of physicists say things like "set c=1", does that mean that meters/feet are bad units and we should instead be measuring our height in fractions of c? That sounds inconvenient to me.

I just calculated that I’m about 6.24 nanolightseconds. A nanolightsecond is just over a foot, so at least Americans should easily get use to the unit.

Ah, but most natural unit systems don't measure time in seconds either. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units
