I don't think anyone requested data *length* being displayed in bits. Measuring bandwidth in bits per second is useful for compatibility with units used by network equipment (which at the lowest level does deal with individual bits). On the other hand, measuring downloaded data in bits is not widely used and adds no new information nor convenience. The --bits option, if implemented, should only affect bandwidth display.
