The SI system is a metric system and also defines the use of the words describing powers of ten. The use of kiloseconds also isn't wrong, it just means 1000 seconds, obviously. But it only makes sense in context (for example short lived isotopes).
The same way "Megameter" is formally correct but no one uses it because there is rarely a context where this was useful.
I bet there is are least one or two kilo people who use it unironically.
Jokes aside, there is a different between a metric system and the metric system, and also between not wrong and right but at this point I'm just nitpicking that people shouldn't be so nitpicky. Don't take me serious.
