This all comes from the change of the column heading from "O₂" (which was
flat out wrong, given that we show things like "Air" and "(19/50)" in that
column) to "gas"

I politely disagree. Go ahead, call me an idiot. I know you want to.
But to the average user, having the unit makes this more useful.

I completely agree, there are disadvantages.

The advantage I see is exclusively about casual users.  I want Subsurface
to be EASY to understand for the casual user. I'm willing to add an "I
have a tiny screen" option to the preferences and then drop all these
conveniences - and then people who understand what is shown with their
10.1" screens can switch to that mode and happily laugh at us morons who
prefer to know what they are looking at, but I feel rather strongly that
our dive list is too cryptic without units / more explanation what the
columns mean.
