Please no excuses about how this will break other programs
Unfortunately backward-compatibility concerns are real, which means we're not likely to make a big change to -h's behavior at this point. You can use --si instead.
Assuming you're talking about 'df' and 'du', neither -h nor --si follows the SI standard, since they both output prefixes without units. So this is not a question of conforming to any standard.
