That is one of the complications - one thinks developers should be smart as in abstract thinking so they should understand (just like all the other numbers humanity made up): "numbers we call story points are not having property to add them and they are not convertible to time".
*Properties of Whole Numbers:
Whole numbers are closed under addition and multiplication.
Zero is the additive identity element of the whole numbers.
1 is the multiplicative identity element.
It obeys the commutative and associative property of addition and multiplication.
It satisfies the distributive property of multiplication over addition and vice versa.
Why use a measure that creates this footgun? Why should our task estimation require this much abstract thinking? Why not invent the measure so that it's not misleading? Numbers generally have well-understood properties. Using them in a way where the properties don't apply is asking to be misunderstood.
