Currently, public sub counts are abbreviated in most but not all places across YouTube. In August, we’ll make this more consistent by always showing abbreviated sub counts publicly.

It makes more sense to have the abbreviated count on the outside bc it looks nicer for the spot and gives an estimate. Then to see the full number you'd just visit the creators profile (serving as a "read more"). To show the same number seems repetitive and unprofessional imo.
