I don't think people use Roman numerals when they say 500k to mean 500 thousand. It is implied the SI system is used. How does it switch from SI to Roman numerals when talking about millions? Also MM is 2000.

MM -> 1000 x 1000

It's inconsistent but since it is in common use I wouldn't fret about it and just accept the fact.
