Because hotdog units are illegal in the U.S. A true hotdog-fearing American would know that.

Good only recognizes empirical SI unit (and most imperial ones). If you wish for google to convert between standard units and hot-dog units you must submit a request to the System International adjudication board, with the exact details surrounding what a hot-dog meassures, and all of the compositional elements of an average hot-dog. Although if we were to use a hot-dog as a unit, I would think we would also have to introduce the hamburger, smoky, bratwu rst and european weiner measurement as well, as it would be unethical to favor one meat sausage over another.
