No. This kind of lazy acceptance is exactly why rockets crash, and rockets crashing are why one must use proper terms. 'gib, kib' are not cased correctly, thus people have no idea what you explicitly mean. They might presume your lazy casing means 'Gib, KiB' but then your rocket might crash. Reference and enforcement is the proper cure.
This argument (Mbit/s versus GiB/month) reminds me of the old saw about the most useless unit of velocity (furlongs/fortnight instead of m/sec).
