Why is the measure not a satisfactory answer?

Unfortunately, even though it is said to be a "generalization" of these things, mathematical measure theory has nothing to do with physical units of measure or dimensional analysis.
Why?
Because its focus is mostly on measures defined on "non-physical" sets, such as various functional spaces (with applications to integrating differential equations, for instance).
