The term "Sci-Fi" was coined by Forry Ackerman, the publisher of Famous Monster of Filmland, who never meant it in a a degoratory way. It was a play on "Hi-Fi". He was one of Science Fiction's biggest fans.
The use of SF is just an attempt at rebranding like Kentucky Fried Chicken changing it's name to KFC or the YMCA changing to "the Y".
