That’s a retcon of hardware producers using measurement units confusion to advertise less as more.
It’s nice to have consistent units naming, but when the industry has existed for a long enough time with the old ones, seems intentional harm for profit.
They’re not wrong. 1000 GB is a terabyte, so 512 GB is over half a terabyte.
It’s exactly half a tebibyte though.

512 GiB is half a tebibyte. 512 GB is just under 477 GiB.
Yup.
Correct. But that means 512 GB is not half a tebibyte.
