Using <abbr> is one of the recommended techniques (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H28.html) for passing WCAG 3.1.4 - Abbreviations. Keep in mind this success criteria falls under AAA compliance so it might be harder to justify if the website owner is only looking to comply with WCAG AA. But as a visual user, I certainly appreciate when authors use the <abbr> for less commonly used acronyms as I can display the element's title attribute on mouse hover in most popular browsers.
Best,
Marc
