50k and 100k strictly speaking are an order of magnitude different so what's your point exactly?

It's 2x not an order of magnitude.

2x is an order of magnitude in binary scales, which is what you should probably be using if you're working with computers.
2^16, 2^32, and 2^64 are a lot easier to understand than 6.5 * 10^3, 4.2 * 10^9, and 1.8 * 10^19
