It just needed to be able to be reconstructed without having an object standard. What is the actual length of a meter based on? A size that’s not only useful in scale, but that is both 1000x a useful measurement size and 1/1000th of a useful measurement size. It becomes intuitive when you start thinking in metric. It only took me like a month or two of mild effort to intuit a meter.
