Assuming an inch remains the same, 16 inches in a foot makes 1 meter about 2.5 feet (closer to 2.46), which seems like it'd be nice for quick and rough conversions - 5 and 2 are numbers people tend to be decent at multiplying and dividing by, so just using those two operations to approximate the conversion would probably be relatively easy
But then again, now that I think about it, 8 inches in a foot puts the conversion at roughly 5 feet in a meter (closer to 4.92), which is even easier to do quickly for approximations.

All attempts at logic aside, though, 16 feels more foot-y.
