I think RoW is trying to send a message to certain US constituents.
Edit: so much hate for something so benign.

  RoW = Rest of World?
  If so, those constituencies are immune to facts and common sense.

    Good guess. I'm usually pretty good with acronyms, but this one's got me stumped.

  Please don't make us decode your acronym <a href="https://www.acronymfinder.com/ROW.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.acronymfinder.com/ROW.html

    I've been hesitant to talk about this too much, because it's such a bad joke, but personally I'm waging a War On Acronyms (WOA). They really don't save much time or effort, but make communication much more opaque. They can be a way of in-group signaling, which just makes it harder for newcomers / outsiders to come up to speed. And so many collisions.

    RoW is not opaque. It’s widely used especially in academia. Acronyms exists for a good reason. If you like everything spelled out please stop using apostrophes while you’re at it.

    Very solipsistic take. Most people don't live in your bubble.

    I don't live in the USA. Never heard of it.
