Most people use keyboards as their primary input device for their computers rather than speech. As a result, "www" is MUCH shorter to type than "World Wide Web". When we're all talking to our computers (like Scotty tried to do by talking into a mouse in "The Voyage Home"), then it will be a different story.

That's just the complexity of English - try calling it "dub, dub, dub".
