Systems like Amazon EC2 use the explicit GiB suffix.
Are you saying that Amazon EC2's 'df' utility behaves differently from coreutils' 'df'? If so, could you send us documentation or source code indicating exactly what Amazon EC2's 'df' does?
As Pádraig wrote, there are compatibility arguments for 'df' to not change its behavior here.
As Glenn wrote, there was a longstanding issue with coreutils documentation disagreeing with behavior. In <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2020-09/msg00002.html> Kamil Dudka suggested that the documentation be fixed; I don't know whether that happened.
