Doesn't make it any less annoying, from my own perception anyway. I have known about DRM standing for Direct Rendering Manager for years, but it's really annoying even today.

Sure, but it'll take a little longer to recognize the context, because the acronym is overloaded. It's like IPC. Or how "inflammable" means both "not flammable" and "extremely flammable".
