This is the TLA culture, I remember reading an IBM technical manual in the eighties. It gave the meaning by using the full words on first appearance, after that the acronym was used. It went from heavy to unreadable in one page. There was no glossary of acronyms.

I used to work for Digital, back when they still existed, and that was also a hotbed of TLAs. In the end, they ran out of TLAs and moved to ETLAs - Extended TLAs...
