There are some very good reasons for adopting technical terms for concepts like this.
I would imagine it's generally easier for academics to book venues for conferences when the title is 'CSAM Seminar' than if it's called a 'Child Pornography Convention'
Similarly, when they are looking up publications, it's probably more fruitful, and less prone to terms-of-academic-use-violations for them to google 'NCII' than 'revenge porn'.
It's a little like how people tend to refer to themselves as 'working in pharmaceutical sales' rather than 'dealing in drugs'.
