Because a measurement is pointless without the unit. How would you feel if someone offered to pay you 25 per hour and then, after a day 's slog, they told you it was 25 cents an hour? If you had assumed 25 dollars that was your own fault!
Or you paid a 70 centilitres bottle of wine and you were given a 70 microlitres!

SteveBecause measurements without units are totally meaningless. I can offer you 10 lots of cola for 50. I could mean 10 millilitres (a large sip) for £50 or 10 litres (10 large bottles) for 50 pence. One is a good deal the other is not. But if there are no units you will have no clue.
