When bitcoin was worthless it made sense but as it monetizes I think quadrillion will become manageable. 20 years ago a trillion of anything was hard for humans to grasp and now trillion is common place.

To be fair, I think the fact that sats are not in the whitepaper kind of is Carvalho's main point: what we call "sat" is the protocol-level bitcoin unit. I think setting it at 21M, with decimals, was something of a marketing move by Satoshi. 21M is (somewhat) manageable by the human brain, anything quadrillion is not.
