Windows 10: File explorer can't display file size?

I was wondering why can't file explorer display the size of a file in the size column. It would help a lot if I can see it, instead of manually hovering over every single file

File Explorer - File Size

Hi. In the File Size column in File Explorer the size is displayed in kBs. When the list of files contains extreme size variations, there is a necessity to have wide column to get the millions of kBs displayed. Also, having the display automatically adjust itself to a suitable factor would then save the trouble of trying to calculate the massive figure. Is there any way to make it display the size in other sizes, such as MBs, GBs or even just bytes? Or perhaps make it automatic, which would seem more preferable?
