Because several times there'd been an acronym coined that another service also used with a completely different meaning.
They were referred to as the Babel conferences.

I was at a big international radio conference in Geneva a few years ago ... a small subset of the CCEB (5) + NATO team was having an informal meeting in a pub when our very senior German civilian member (about a senior ADM level in our bureaucracy) banned acronyms and most abbreviations because we wasted too much time explaining them to one another - including having the USN explain its acronyms to the USAF and, worst of all, having US CINCPAC apparently intentionally using different terminology that US CINCLANT, just to be different.
