It’s probably just a british person complaining about units as they can’t make up their mind what to use. Ounces is perfectly valid in the context of pounds…

A pound is roughly half a kg, we can work with that. But nobody outside the imperial using countries knows what an ounce is, and we don’t regularly use any unit close to it.

Pretty much everyone uses troy ounces for things like gold.

But if you’re in the US, you also need to be more specific, since we also have fluid ounces.
