To be fair PwC is a very well established initialism. It would be like saying HTTP but actually referring to something other than the well understood meaning of that thing.

The context of the PwC acronym is extremely unambigious in the comment.

If that were the case, I'd expect to be able to learn what it stands for in the first page of google results, but alas...

And you know what is on the front page? PricewaterhouseCoopers

I think you agree with me? It is unambiguously associated with PricewaterhouseCoopers.
what's the well established initialism?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PWC is it one of these?

Its not even just commonly used. I’d say if papers with code tried to refer to themselves as PwC they’d get a cease and desist.
