Must not forget that while it is true to some degree that manufacturers use base 10 for ease of use... they also use it because it produces larger numbers. It would not require much effort for manufacturers to convert to the system that all computers use, in order to represent the total amount, but 150GB sounds much better than 139.7GB to the average consumer.
