why there are two storage measurement unit out there, for example, GiB and GB? It is like those American still use alien units to measure thing and mess up the space program to Mars in 1999 while the other part of the world use Metric system.

When I see GiB, I need to pull up a unit converter to see the actual size in GB, because I prefer decimal system.
