The guy who created gif says jif, so that one, for starters. I’m sure you say CD-ROM in a way that rhymes with rom-com (side note, rom is wrongly a short O here too) with a short O, yet ROM stands for Read Only Memory. Or do you say See Dee Rome? Maybe with a Spanish background, but not English. Similar with PIN, I for identification but no one says pine. GIMP photo software stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. Whether you say Gee Enn Yoo or GNU, GIMP isn’t said a way that matches. The G in GLaDOS is for genetic. PAL (TV) is for Phase Alternating Line. PHAT, pretty hot and attractive. 50% of any time a Q is involved.
JPEG. Joint Photographic Experts Group. SCUBA. If it followed the pronunciation of the component words it would sound like “scubba”. LASER. That’s just off the top of my head.
Just remind yourself that the pronunciation of an acronym is completely unrelated to the pronunciation of the component words.

Get down from your giant giraffe and ride a high horse like everyone else. Or do you say “high” with a “g” like “gift”?

True, but the point still applies. Lol, fomo, etc. I’d.say it applies to more than it doesn’t.
