It's stylistically acceptable to put an apostrophe for plurals in cases where the plural thing isn't a "normal" word, as is the case for initialisms like UI or numbers like the latter two you caught.

Obviously a given body may make its own rules in this regard, but luckily English has no overall authority, and this is informal communication outside the domain of any minor ones (beyond, perhaps, idle pedants and prescriptivists).
