deci, deca and hecto are all hardly if ever in use anymore. dL very, very rarely. Powers of 1000 are extremely common and useful. The great thing is they are consistent.
Imperial units are far from it, they are optimized for prime factors. Which is great for manual calculations, but absolutely useless for anything multiscale. Your point?

Maybe it's different in different countries/cultures, but deci is widely used in Sweden.
