Pretty sure that title was coined by Steve Gibson on his Security Now! podcast[1] (at least that's where I've first/only heard it).

In your source he explicitly says he does not know who the originator is.

> I don't know who the originator was because I saw it coming from several different sources over the past week. But I just love this. I mean, I liked the acronym IDIOT, I-D-I-O-T, which of course stands for I Don't Internet of Things. But I think even better is this slogan: "The 'S' in IOT Is for Security."

That style joke predates IoT. "The [letter] in [acronym that doesn't contain letter] stands for [punchline]"

I've heard/said it before that point.
