I forgive 'em cuz watt hours are a disgusting unit in general

idea	what	unit
speed	change in position over time	meters per second m/s
acceleration	change in speed over time	meters per second, per second m/s/s=m/s²
force	acceleration applied to each of unit of mass	kg * m/s²
work	acceleration applied along a distance, which transfers energy	kg * m/s² * m = kg * m²/s²
power	work over time	kg * m² / s³
energy expenditure	power level during units of time	(kg * m² / s³) * s = kg * m²/s²

Work over time, × time, is just work! kWh are just joules (J) with extra steps! Screw kWh, I will die on this hill!!! Raaah

Could be worse, could be BTU. And some people still use tons (of heating/cooling).

Power over time could be interpreted as power/time. Power x time isn’t power, it’s energy (=== work). But otherwise I’m with you. Joules or gtfo.
