that's the point. The billions of people using Bitcoin in the future won't do any of that. They see numbers on a screen related to Bitcoin and the thought will end there. Sats will be relegated to a fun, nickname phrase that gets used by the minority few of us who think its cool.

i can get behind this logic. if there's ever going to be a change to the naming, it needs to be soon. once a significant amount of people start actually interacting with Bitcoin it'll be too confusing.
Its already too late. We have ~16 years worth of literature and media using sats terminology and attributing a specific value to the term "bitcoin".
Changing that at this stage will significantly hamper current adoption. And drastically increase confusion and risk.
There is no future adoption if there is no present adoption.
When we reach billions of people adoption, they will utilize whatever phrasing we use. Do we change things now, co fuse the shit out of everyone, right as we are on the cusp of global recognition and serious consideration?
Or do we demand a little bit of simple proof of work for people to learn?
This "change" obviously does not have consensus. Not everyone will convert at once. There will be a period of time when 1 bitcoin =/= 1 bitcoin. And even if they did you have an existing body of work that will never change.
Bitcoin vs bitcoin is already hard to comprehend for most.
Now youre asking ppl to comprehend Bitcoin vs bitcoin vs bitcoin.
