Nah, there are no such rules, like anything else, initialisms are defined by speakers of the language, and that's what industry professionals seem to use most often.
Lol ok, if you want to change to that set of rules, I am an industry professional. Fairly deep into my IT career, and I will absolutely get on to any of my people if I see "Scuzzy" (Not that that particular one will ever come up again, fairly out of date lmao) or "Sequel" or any of that other bull
Maybe it's a regional thing, or maybe you're just a hothead, hard to tell.
Either way, in my region, "scuzzy" and "sequel" are the dominant pronunciations for SCSI and SQL in my field.
