Not really, or it has some pretty weird ideas about preferred units in my region. When trying to get a conversion for 1 cup, it tells me it's 0.5 pints. My region is Finland, language is Finnish, and roughly no-one understands those units.

Weird. I’m in Canada and I see the following when I select “1 cup”:

0.24 L | 23.66 cL | 236.59 mL | 236.59 cm^3 | 0.0625 gal | 0.5 pt | 0.25 qt | 8 fl oz | 16 tbsp | 48 tsp | 0.00836 ft^3 | 14.44 in^3

My “measurement system” under language and region in settings is set to “Metric”. Perhaps yours is incorrectly set to “UK”?

I’m also running iOS 16.5 beta, if it helps.

Similarly I am on iOS 16.2 and have measurement system set to metric, my region to Norway, and my main preferred language to English.

I see the following: 0,24 l | 23,66 cl | 236,59 ml | 236,59 cm^3

It’s using comma as decimal because the number format is set as 1 234 567,89 as is default for region Norway.

It’s weird that mine shows the symbol for litres as a lowercase L and not as an uppercase L though.

Both of 'l' and 'L' are acceptable as unit abbreviations for litre:

The metric conversions are idiotic. Converting "1 cup" to 5 decimal places is misleading, and offering alternatives in l / cl / ml (with a capital ell??) is useless. The addition of cm^3 is the cherry on top :)

This was clearly designed by someone who has never used the metric system.

A human would convert it to "1/4 liter" or "250ml".

Edit: Actually, a human would convert "1 cup of flour" into "150g flour", since most local recipes use weight instead of volume for solids. Which shows that good localisation is a lot more than just literal translation + unit conversion.

Funny, for me the units shown are 0,24l and 23,66cl. (Also from Finland). OS language english, but locale Finland.
