I’ve learned about them in school, but I’ve never heard anyone say something is 8 decameters long or anything like that. I’m an American.

No, some measurements just aren’t used, even when they’d be a good fit.
Like lengths. We never use anything above km. Even for things like space, we say “million km” rather than gigametre.
The closest we come to hectometre is hectare, which is used for land area.
Megameters are sometimes used, that’s not true.
Where do you live and what is your profession? I have heard anyone use megameter seriously.
Germany, studying Cybersecurity. They are used in astronomy through, only a hobby if me.
Who uses megametres? It’s not something I’ve ever heard in the UK.
A megameters is 1.000.000 meters.
