The same exact reason ISPs sell bandwidth in Mb/s, instead of the proper unit.
Quite simply, 500Mbit/s sounds a lot more impressive than 0.5Gbps or 62.5MB/s.

But bits is the correct unit.
Speed is measured in bits, storage is measured in Bytes (unless you are Microsoft)
Your argument you be like saying 'why say a car that can do Kilometres per hour when it is really going cubic kilometres per hour.
