Just because the data is stored digitally doesn't mean that it's capacity has to be in powers of two. It just means the possible amount of different data that can be stored is a power of two.
Using SI prefixes to mean something different has always irked me as an engineer.
For permanent storage or network transfer speeds? When was that? Do you have examples?
Instead we ended up with people using si and metric prefixes interchangably by waiting 50 years to change it in the worst of all possible worlds. Also I fucking hate the shitty prefixes they picked.
