Quick, how many blocks will 4096 bytes use on my storage device?

The argument is that the base10 interval makes no sense with computers, because they're physically base2.

You can't really have 10 without wasting 2, and that's why it made sense to use 1024 instead of 1000.

Personally I feel the pushback against gibi/mibi/kibi overblown. It's ultimately better to be coherent everywhere and always specify everything with decimals/rounded over random context dependent decisions. But still, the original argument for 1024 made sense too.
