A comment on Closed loophole confirms the unreality of the quantum world (2018). Parent comment
IIRC, in this context the mass m is considred as a proportionality coefficient. Such that the force is propotional to the acceleration.
Sure, rewriting this would fix the constant to 1, but this introduces a concept of specific force, force per unit-mass.
