Unironically I think that wording is being pushed by the porn giants to not have it associated with porn.
Though since the media, news and all that stuff don’t like to use the word porn too, it made it easier to be caught on.

Bit of a side note, but why did they go with CSAM, when CP is quicker and easier to say/type?

CP is a name from the perspective of the consumer, CSAM is a name from the perspective of the victim. Since we want take the side of the victim, we use the term relevant to the victim.

“Pornography” implies legitimacy and consent, from what I’ve read.

Cp is also name for a disease that affects many thousands of people. They would not appreciate this.

Also “pornography” is a harder to define term, and can be “circumvented” by calling it “child erotica” or “child artistic nudity”, and CSAM producers used them to get around anti-CSAM laws while they could. Today some of the distributors try to claim they’re “just recordings of a crime”.
