Think about what the tubes were used for, back then. They often replaced an 
analog meter. When using equipment with different scales, or multipliers, 
it was up to the user to select the appropriate range for the measurement, 
then read the meter or tube display and "do the math" himself, to figure 
out the number of zeros after (or before) the significant digits.

Having an M or K symbol would be a needless luxury.
