I know that some people see it as being pedantic. I get that. But I work in an industry (and did in the previous industry, too) that is full of acronyms and initialisations and they are used very commonly, I'd say I come across an acronym/initialisation at least every hour, and the vast majority of those use the apostrophe when pluralising them.

By the way, for those who don't know , there is a difference between an acronym and an initialisation. The vast majority of the workforce incorrectly call them all acronyms.
