As you said, that's in the US, and I strongly suspect the sole reason
is that in the US the currency symbol is written in front of the
amount. I often pronounce $10k as ten kilodollar, using it exactly
like a SI-prefix.
The much better argument against SI prefixes is that the prefixes for
values less than 1 tend to be much less well known: Most people know
that kilo means 1000, many know that mega means 1,000,000, but few
know that micro means 0.0000001, and those that do tend to confuse
micro and nano.
