because it would be close to a coiny=$1 then
people (not computers or mathematicians/computer scientists) have difficulty in dealing with numbers that include zeroes, like 0.000101 BTC vs 0.0000999 btc. This phenomenon is well known as a distaste for fractions beyond 0.01.
If bitcoin goes to $10000, coffee would be , say, 0.0004 BTC, which is not good from a typical human perspective.

I see your point but that's why shitbits like Doge are for.  

I think there is a need for a high txs, zero confirmation daily use Bitcoin twin which would demand a 1:1 ratio.

But I am biased so...

I jist call 100 satoshi that or I write the thang out as 0.000001.  Why y'all gotta make up silly little sucker-ass units when you all can write up the exact quantity.  My brain don' work thata way.

Breadwallet default is bits already, wait until blockchain.info and coinbase do the same.
Honestly, in my opinion, making a sidechain with the two way peg to bitcoin at 1:000 one way and 1000X the other, would do the trick.
Let's say, it would be called "coiny", "b-buck", 'bitty" or something else entirely.
you buy a cup of coffee with "coiny" on the sidechain, but you do investments, buy a car, a house, etc on the main chain (bitcoin).
Interesting ideas, but I don't agree with having strange denominations like pegs. It is way to unintuitive system.
Stick to metric system and just came up with a name for 1/1000, 1/100, and 1/10 etc. of BTC.
Sidechains, pegs and slang names will complicate everything even more.

well, US and UK don't use metric system in almost anything, except money.
unless you are a scientist, millimeter or centimeter tells most US inhabitants very little.
the best bitcoin people come up with is "bits", but they are currently too small, coffee would be 4000-5000 bits.
