I don’t want to be that guy, but ‘s is for possession, or when it is short for “is”, like what’s or how’s being what is and how is. Just a plain s for plural, never ‘s. I don’t get how so many people get this wrong, it’s not that hard.

I think you are wrong in this case. For example, many people would write X's when talking about multiple instances of the letter X. As another commenter said, there are exceptions and acronyms can be one of them.

But I upvoted you anyway because us pedants need to stick together.

Really? Damn, I did not that. English is a weird language.

The cool and/or awful thing about language (not just English) is that if enough people many the same mistake, it's no longer a mistake!

OP should have vibecoded the title, chatbots know how to use apostrophes.

There is technically a rule that allows for 's, and acronyms are one of the possible uses
