I agree it could be worse but the idea it's really any good seems more like us being used to it than anything else. It's a stupid naming scheme. For a log scale I would really have been happier with everyone using band numbers or something rather than explaining "super high frequency" is higher than "Ultra high frequency" and, despite the terms, that's probably where most typical radio device use cases are these days.

Fortunately we have not just one but two competing band designators – IEEE (widely in use in e.g. satellite communication; L-band, Ku-band, Ka-band etc. come from that nomenclature) and EU/NATO (which seems somewhat obsolete) :)

In addition to that, hams (in study materials and exams) use wavelengths, which is always "fun" to convert from/to frequencies.
