Why would a diamond excavator want to convert the diamond measurement from carats to grams?

Differing units of measure may be based in commerce. A diamond excavator isn't digging up just diamonds. The material in the volcanic pipe surrounding the diamond material far outweighs the diamond material. The material will be measured in tonnes or tons. Grams relates to tonnes. Carats relates to no other unit of measure except gem stone weight. The excavator may be involved in commerce, and the purchasers of his excavated material may prefer grams to carats.
