I’m from a country where we use metric and can’t think of anything that would normally be displayed as a fraction. Sure we know what half and third are, but they’re not used officially for anything
A recipe with metric units will default to gram amounts that are divisible by ten and thus infinitely easier to halve than “5/8 of your grandmother’s good cake spoon” or any such folksy nonsense.

You’ve never had to halve a recipe before? Which is easier to do in your head, half of 78.862 milliliters or half of 1/3 cup?
No recipe lists 78.862 mm of anything.
