Why are people adamant about using the term "COVID-19" to describe the pandemic?

I am aware COVID-19 is the technical term for the illness (COronaVIrus Disease 2019) but sometimes I see people use it to refer to the virus itself, and those people don't get corrected. Sometimes, however, I see people who use phrases like "has the coronavirus" (correctly) corrected.
