The only usable ByteCountFormatStyle is decimal
Swift makes it relatively easy to format numbers as byte counts, with appropriate suffixes to indicate units and generally sensible auto-selection of scale factors. e.g.:
1234.formatted(.byteCount(style: .decimal))
1 kB(in English - results may vary depending on locale)
This is just a small subset of Swift's FormatStyle-based formatting capabilities, with which I have a bit of a love-hate relationship even when they're working correctly.
Alas, they don't always work correctly; some of [...]

Fucking FormatStyle
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Swift's FormatStyle-based formatting capabilities.
Text(progress.formatted(.percent.precision(.significantDigits(2))))
42%(in English - results may vary depending on locale)
On the pro side:
