  They use it to describe all physical quantities.

  Mostly it is a communication tool in that the SI units are the standard units to use which means that everyone reporting data are on the same level of playing field. That is, someone in Japan or Russia will know what I mean if I say I measured the volume of something as 540 cubic meters.
