What does Electron mass (rest) represent?

It represents the invariant, intrinsic mass of a free electron measured in its rest frame, commonly denoted as m_e.

Why use Atomic mass unit [u] as the target unit?

Atomic mass unit [u] provides a convenient scale for atomic and molecular masses, useful in chemistry, physics, and related sciences.

Is this conversion useful for everyday weight measurements?

No, it is meaningful mostly in scientific contexts like physics, chemistry, spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry.
