Ya, I treat that the same way. If it really matters, I know the difference and can use the correct one as needed. It’s far more often that the difference doesn’t matter and the only reason to use Gibibyte is for the “look at me, I’m trying to sound smart” effect.
Yup, marketers fucked up gigabyte/megabyte/etc. But It’s close enough for most conversations.
That’s how I feel about GB vs GiB (and TB vs TiB).

GiB and TiB only exist because advertisers suck.
