The examples here vary in how bad they are...
Like, "crypto" is understandable, the technology is somewhat related and it was the non-technical people (who have very little exposure to the "cryptography" context) that shortened the long form into the current version, so not much that can be done by the tech side...
LoRa is a slightly worse but also understandable. The radio communication tech is Lo(ng) Ra(nge) (with just L and R capitalized). The ML stuff is Lo(w) R(ank) A(daptation) (with L, R, and A capitalized). Annoying, but probably still not intentional.
And then, there's "grep" here...
Like, clearly the authors know about the older usage... and it's not like there's a case of some coincidental shortening...
