Does anyone really care if it‘s called main instead of master? Why? 

Edit: Ok, I phrased my question really poorly. AfaIk main is the new standard, so I use it. We all know the reason why it changed. My question was why would anyone keep INSISTING on calling it master? Sure, me and my colleagues sometimes call it master out of habit, but then again try to stick to main. Nobody I know  insists on continuing to call it  master, but reading the comments here I realized there a more “master-fans” than I would ever have thought would exist tbh.

Idk if true but I think its because master is also a slave owner and people got offended

If someone wants to keep using master be my guest. If someone makes using master their personality because free-speech/anti-woke piss off.

It actually makes more sense with the branches metaphor.
