I don't think we actually use this method anywhere in dbt-core. It's a holdover from when it was added, for the sole benefit of dbt-bigquery, and we forgot to remove it during the Great Adapter Split-Apart of 2021.
What do you think about just removing it?

Removed!
I did a quick cursory check for both format_bytes and format_rows_number in the dbt Labs adapters using a GitHub search like this. DIdn't see any references other than in dbt-bigquery, which we know about.
I didn't check any non-dbt Labs adapters, although our expectation is that it is not being used. If it did happen to be used by some adapter out there, they'd be on their own to resolve it.

resolves #6741
equivalent to dbt-labs/dbt-bigquery#482
Description
When using multiples of 1024, the IEC standard abbreviations are "GiB", "TiB", "PiB" instead of "GB", "TB", "PB" (which are for multiples of 1000).
More info
Today I Learned (TIL),
format_bytes(andformat_rows_number) are defined in dbt-core but redefined in dbt-bigquery and only used in that adapter. So the dbt-core version is unused to best I can tell.Context for the duplication
Removing them from dbt-core was mentioned here and here as part of the discussion for #48.
It feels to me like one of the following should have happened along with dbt-labs/dbt-bigquery#48:
format_bytesandformat_rows_numberfrom dbt-core; orAs it stands, the implementations in dbt-core are unused (to the best that we can tell), but would probably need to be maintained to preserve backwards compatibility in case some unknown adapter is using them.
Proposal
Going forward, I'd propose that we choose one (and only one) of the following:
