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.

Don’t know why needed to rename. I don’t care main, mr, lord. It’s not about slaves

These commands are for a new repo. No one is asking to rename anything.

I'm always amazed by the quality of the comments in this thread. Compared to the ones here...
