> Why does 1000 still make more sense?

The author doesn’t actually answer their question, unless I missed something?

They go on to make a few more observations, and say finally only that the current different definitions are sometimes confusing, to non experts.

I don’t see much of an argument here for changing anything. Some non experts experience minor confusion about two things that are different, did I miss something bigger in this?

Because it would be literally correct. Kilo means 1000, not 1024.
