A lot of imported beers come in 440 ml cans. US ones in particular. But I agree that it feels scammy, because we expect them to be 500 ml.
US measures in ounces, we have three standard beer sizes: 12oz, 24oz and the infamous 40oz. Bars will sell 16oz draught beer, no one is really sure where that came from and not all bars sell them.
16oz is a pint and most US bars do serve drafts that size... And I'm pretty sure it's a carry over from the UK where it's always been common to order a pint of beer.
"Imperial pints" in the UK are actually 20oz interestingly enough though.
Seems like they typically get larger standard sizes of beer than us and I think we should follow their lead.
Wouldn't you expect them to be like 470 ml ~16 oz? 500 us closer to 17, and 440 is a strange ~15 odd ml
Someone said in another comment that 440 ml is the default multipack can for the UK and that can plus contents add up to 1 lb that way. I don't know if this is true. I could see US beer imported via UK being a thing though.
Edit: And if you mean whether I would expect 470 ml over 500 ml, then no. 500 ml is very much the European standard can.
I specifically meant imports, as they tend to use the same shelving and cooler infrastructure for the cans we have. But I don't seek out a lot of imports myself.
