In informatics parts there’s always a little bit more when talking about GB or similars. Why it’s like that?

Because that’s what it is
When you buy RAM you’re actually buying 8 GiB(GibiBytes) of RAM since its base 2 so 1 GiB is 1024 (aka 2^10) MiB, and 1 MiB is 1024 KiB.
Your “8 GB” RAM stick is actually 8,589,934,592 (2^33) Bytes in capacity, but that’s an absymal number for marketing so it turns into 8GB and the next level up is 16 GB then 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and then you hit either 1024 *or* 1 TB, they’re equivalent
