Yeah, to be honest, I don't really care what people call it. But I don't like the idea of having to go, "well, there's still only 21 million, because 2.1 quadrillion is the same, except for it's just a smaller part, and..." which is just having to re-explain the same thing we're trying to avoid in the first place, except now we started out with even more confusion. I think it's too late to try to force some kind of change. If people change it, it'll happen organically.
I remember in Portugal before the euro, street name for the currency(escudo) was (paus) 'sticks', the name for 1000(escudos) was(conto) 'story', quite telling on the currency value. Bitcoin and sats are strong names, they will stick.

In fact there was a video recently where someone said “we should do a stock split” and I kinda laughed because my first thought was “so you think you can explain a stock split to normies?” 😂 nevent1qqsqzpst74rf0wjdnkz0nsg029zgr0ganuvcpycv239ug8dtt2wm3lspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgjck625
Even the founder of Bitcoin is still unclear. In comparison, 1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 sats Bitcoin is not complicated. Sats are generated by community consensus, and are not only a unit but also a commemoration. Fortunately, there is no Bitcoin central bank to announce the official Bitcoin unit. image
Though Bitcoin itself is confusing, once you get yourself through all of the noise and realize you don't have to understand it on a programmatic level to just shut up have faith and stack because you eventually come to the conclusion that it's the only thing we plebs have that will always remain fundamentally as-is.
