Since most people on Reddit are bots, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that there are only 28 Europeans and 24 Americans on Reddit (note that to have two or more tone, these are the minimal amounts of each).
There is at least one Canadian. I know ‘cause I’m him. I do not weigh a ton.
Please don’t poke fun at Canada, we got problems right now.
Probably because it was easier to redefine already established big unit than to push for use of new one in logistics. Also at this point it is better to have new set of units than continue with adding more of same pattern, so we have also kilotonnes and megatonnes. I don't even have idea what those would be as -gram. And tonne is so detached from regular units of mass that it actually makes it easier to visualize.

Ok but counterpoints:
Europeans don’t use tons.
A ton is like 14 Europeans (or 12 Americans).

I’m sorry.
