They changed the behavior of macOS a number of years ago (2012?) because disk manufacturers advertise storage capacity in 10^x, and the operating system displaying sizes in 2^y made the disks seem smaller and (in theory) caused confusion.

My MacBook Pro's internal "1 TB" disk is actually 1,000,240,963,584 bytes -- neither 1 TB nor 1 TiB.

I remember this. The packaging showing the calculation that 1MB = 1024 bytes
