I actually think the opposite to this. I wish in reporting they did put all the 000's in. There's so much information lost in comparing 'millions' or 'billions' as opposed to writing it out long hand so you can see how much the difference is.
(I know it'd be unwieldy and lose readability, perhaps some other illustrative way of showing how big these numbers are when they're used would be valuable)
