Like the tooltip states, that option works only in orthographic side view:

It's greyed out when viewport is in perspective mode.

I was using it in orthographic side view, still greyed out and changing the value doesn't update the subdivisions.

Upload a simple .blend file showing the problem, please. Did you check if loading factory settings helps?

Loading factory settings didn't help.

Here is a blend file
subdivisions.blend

I misunderstood. You're right, in 2.80 it works:

In 2.81 (sub 15), branch: master, commit date: 2019-10-11 19:43, hash: 60d02b336e "subdivisions" are greyed out:

So it does look like a bug.

Not sure how this should be handled. It is a bit confusing for sure.

Changing the number of subdivisions in the Metric or Imperial system was not available in Blender 2.79.
In blender 2.80 this was available for a while but then disabled (when the Imperial grid was corrected).
If you change the imperial system to None, the number of subdivisions will be available.

Maybe the tooltip can be improved, but I don't consider it a bug since it's the same behavior as blender 2.79

I'm using metric system and simply disabling it is unacceptable. Bringing up behavior from blender 2.79 is irrelevant as it was changed in 2.80.

I see this as a step backwards. 2.80 is suppose to be going forwards.

If subdivisions work in 2.80 with metric unit system. I expect it to work in 2.81

Even if subdivision works for the metric system, it cannot work in the imperial system (since in this system there is no uniform factor that multiplies the units).
And also if you put subdivisions in the metric system, the units will no longer be centimeter, meter and so on.
Subdivisions are really only indicated when there is no unit system.
