We don’t use mega grams because kilo is the SI unit. And there’s no such thing as metric byte. That’s the sales department finding out that 104 MB is a larger number than 100 MiB.
In SI units a megagram would be equal to 1000 kilograms, because that’s how SI unit prefixes work. Except we call it a tonne instead, which I believe is what the original commenter is referencing.

Thank you for this pedantry, I will now remove the word “tonne” from my vocabulary and insist I have only ever heard of megagrams. Bless you
