If I understand the rules cited, is it a user or an user? Just to choose an example, which is apparent frequently.

If this is any help, I also always use “an” when in combination with an acronym that is pronounced with a vowel sound. I’d also say it isn’t terribly important, as mentioned already by Nick, and it doesn’t stick out to me as an error either way.
FWIW, the same rule does apply with letter sounds: “an F” is the same as “an eff”.
“…an FQDN…” “…an SOP…”
“…a PDF…” “…a BFH…”
I do wonder about “UFO”, and I wouldn’t say “an UFO”, so your guess is as good as mine there.
I don’t think I cleared that up at all, but it’s English, so that’s probably par for the course and a sign I’m on the right track.

Technically, I think this update is incorrect and "an" is correct - https://www.reddit.com/r/grammar/comments/riql6s/a_or_an_before_acronym_that... and https://www.grammar.com/a-vs-an-when-to-use. But TBH, I really don't think it is too important.
