This argument makes no sense to me because the rule that every letter of an acronym has to sound like it does in the start of it’s word doesn’t apply to other acronyms that people commonly use.
Laser - Light amplification by stimulated emition of radiation. Note that it is commonly pronounced lazer, but the word isn’t pronounced ztimulated.
YOLO - You only live once. Note that “once” starts with a “w” sound, but YOLO ends in a ō sound.
SIM (as in SIM card) - subscriber identification module. Note that identification starts with the “eye” sound, but we don’t pronounce it sīm.

I could go on, but I think I’ve made my point
