There is a benefit in using 1000 because it’s consistent with all the other 1000 conventions from kg to gramm, km ti meter, etc. And you can do it in your head because we use a base 10 number system.

36826639 bytes are 36.826639 MB. But how many MiB? I don’t know, I couldn’t tell you without a calculator.
