Maybe there are regional variances. Like how the English pronounce all kinds of words incorrectly, despite creating the language.

I think al yu min ium is more correct

Aluminum was the original spelling, adding an extra I was a British thing so aluminum can match the pronunciation of other elements like helium, lithium, beryllium, uranium, and plutonium.
Why didn’t you guys change iron to ironium? Or hydrogen to hydrogenium? Tungsten to tungstenium? Lead to leadium?
It doesn’t make any sense to change one element name when there are plenty of other elements that don’t match the naming scheme.
