Underlying storage doesn't actually care about being in powers of 2^10 or anything, it's only the controllers that do, but not the storage medium. You're mixing up the different possibilities to fill your storage with (which is 2^(number of bits)).
Looking at triple layer cell SSDs, how would you ever reach a 2^10, a 2^20 or 2^30 capacity when each physical cell represents three bits? You could only do multiples of three. So you can do three gibibytes, but that's just as arbitrary as any other configuration.
