And the problem is that we do cater to the 1%. See GitHub trying to replace master branch to main branch, or Python replacing the master-slave terminology, and so forth. This is just two examples, there are billions. There is a guy (or a bot) who has opened over 3k issues to projects about the master-slave terminology change[1]. GitHub is doing nothing against it, and yes, they know about it. You could replace GitHub with loads of other major companies and whatnot, they are not only allowing it, but encourage it, they are speaking up with the 1% and you can clearly see the effects.

Yes github actually fucked me up with the whole master/main thing the other day. I was trying to push a local repo I had been working on for a few days to a new github repo. Cost me an hour of head scratching until I realised what the deal was. I've defaulted all my repos back to "master" in line with git CLI which is the single source of truth.
Github is on my personal shitlist for a number of reasons though and this is nowhere near #1.
