This is exactly my point in this discussion.
I would also add that in this case the regulatory change would affect a crucial point of what we know about Bitcoin: the fact that its supply does not change overnight.
Ok, the change is just a nomenclature change, but besides being forced, it gives the appearance that the amount of bitcoins available has changed.
Furthermore, if it is difficult to explain to a newbie that the smallest unit of Bitcoin is the satoshi (the creator of it), and that there are 100 million satoshi for each Bitcoin, how difficult would it be to explain that there were 21 million bitcoins and now there are 21 quadrillion, but the supply still has not increased.
Think about it, you are explaining this to the same person who would not be able to understand that 100 million sats is equivalent to one Bitcoin.
