I don't see a point in labelling something that isn't addressable bit by bit in bits. The lowest unit anything running on it can use is a byte and it's perfectly divisible by 8, there's no reason to use bits. I'm not going to count the number of atoms in my drink or the how long my trip to work is in fuckin nanometers. Doing something the way it's always been done is not a very convincing excuse, if we always did that we'd still be drawing on cave walls and foraging for berries.

Chips are sold to audiences who do care about the bit-by-bit implementation. > anything running on it You've skipped a few layers of abstraction. Chips aren't sold to people who implement software. They're sold to people who implement hardware. The bits matter when you're designing the pieces below the software.
