Could you please explain why meters can be expressed exponentially, but not apples, degrees Kelvin, grams or seconds?

Yes, you have 10 apples. What did I say that is different?
I also posted what the flat earther told me. Maybe you want to discuss the 25 and 625 with him.
For your question:
In the real world, a meter is a measure of distance. m^2 is a measure of area. m^3 is a measure of volume.
What's apples^2 in the real world?
What's kelvin^2 in the real world?
What's g^2 in the real world?
What's s^2 in the real world?

You said the answer to five apples and five apples is 25 apples squared. I don’t understand how you got there. Did Amazon Prime deliver more apples or something?
Apples squared is the original number of apples counted for each apple in the original set. So, if the original set contains five apples, you count five apples five times. Same for the rest.
Not for nothing, but in the equation g=9.81m/s^2, the ‘s’ stands for ‘seconds’.
