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.

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!
