Not much need to use Mm, it doesn’t come up very often. So when it does it’s easier to use thousands of km so as to not confuse people with “another” measurement.

We routinely count vehicle odometers in thousands of kilometers, AKA Megameters. I’d say it’s a common enough measurement to popularize Megameters

That really doesn’t come up often enough.
