Because you selected mismatched options for the axis tic step and the 
tick label format.  One is in powers-of-ten, the other is in powers-of-two.

No, because omitting it would be wrong.  ISO standard power-of-1024 
prefixes have an 'i' to distinguish them from power-of-1000 prefixes. 
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix for the details. 
Without them, the output would be just as brutally wrong as all the 
abusers of decimal prefixes for binary powers have been over the years.

Strictly speaking "ki" is wrong, too.  It should be "Ki".
