Imperial is designed around maximizing divisions of denominators. With 64 you have 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32. With 22 you only have 1, 2, and 11. Start with a whole unit and to get more precision you halve the unit over and over. It's easier to mentally math the measurements when you're only x2 or /2 to convert. You can simplify it at the end if you want, but hardware is all made to the powers of two.
