Humans have a hard time understanding or desiring small fractions of things. Three years ago there was a push to use mBTC as the standard unit to help with this psychological factor. Like many things in Bitcoinland... there was a lot of talk... and then nothing changed. So here we are, and there you are, with 2 BTC that you paid 2200 dollars for.
mBTC as the standard unit would have been a better idea like you said, wonder why nothing came of it?
