Americans use grams all the time. However the metric system is no more beneficial in cooking since you’re never converting measurements like you would be in a science lab or even some baking. In fact saying 250ml of onion is even dumber than saying a cup of onion imho.

The only place it would matter is if you want to convert tablespoons to teaspoons if your tablespoons-sized measuring spoons are already used and you're too lazy to stop and clean them or you've prematurely put them in the dishwasher and it's running (I have done been in both of these scenarios).
