For this logic to be consistent you would have to pronounce JPEG as "jayfeg"

There's no logic being applied. This is just sports mentality in tech. Like spaces vs. tabs, Emacs vs. vim, Python vs. R, or one of countless others.

But could you imagine if you created a digital standard used by billions everyday and then most people refused to pronounce the name you gave it? Same energy given off by the "anti pronoun" crowd.

Never thought about it that way. But you're right.
