It's because they're a band of engineer musicians. The marketing team's band named 1001MB advertises gigs all the time.

They probably need more Mega in the band.

Fun fact! A gigabyte is explicitly 1 billion bytes. 1,000 MB equals 1 GB. You're thinking of a MiB, a Mebibyte, and a GiB, a Gibibyte. 1 Gibibyte is 1,024 MiB but 1 GB equals 1,000 MB.

Real nerds know that 1 gigabyte is equal to 1,000 megabytes but 1 gibibyte is equal to 1,024 mebibytes.

The sarcasm is strong in the above post.
