I'm not using Creo Elements/Modeling PE, but rather Creo Parametric. It saves STL files in whatever units the model is created in and there's no option at the output to change it.
The process to change units is probably about 12 or more clicks and then when I'm done exporting, I have to do it all over again to revert back to inches.
Doing the conversion in Cura is certainly shorter, but sometimes the models come in and are too small to see.

The whole world has switched to the metric system officially, so I think we should stay with the metric system. And not go back to medieval units that don't work well in high-tech environments, no mat

Creo doesn't do inches. Internally it only stores things in mm so it properly always outputs STL files in mm just like Cura likes it. I think you didn't tell Creo you are doing inches. it sounds like a system setting in Creo to set it in inches mode. If you don't do that what you think is 1 inch is actually 1mm.
