Do you think it would be possible to add another variable that wouldn't overwrite the default but use the "human_B" output with -h or --si?
Probably not. We've been heading more in the opposite direction, in that we'd rather not have environment variables affect the behavior of standard utilities, due to the possibility of confusion and even attacks on unwary users. For interactive use you can define your own du command or alias that behaves the way you prefer.
