While you are correct, I know no operating system that doesn’t capitalize the K. At the very least not consistently.

I just checked and my Android phone does indeed make the same error. Amazing.

I guess it’s for consistency. M, G and T are all capital and n, p or μ aren’t relevant for bits and bytes. Makes sense to also capitalize the k.

Edit: In case of kbps and Mbps, the capitalization is usually correct though…
