Miles or kilometers per hour makes sense in the context of travel, you can very easily estimate how long it's going to take to get somewhere.

Ironically, km/h is better for estimation because hours are 3600 seconds. If an hour were 1000 seconds or whatever, it would barely take more effort to calculate with m/s

I was thinking about estimating stopping distances and reaction times. The number of metres you cover every second becomes important then.
