You should probably think more about that first sentence yours and about what I said. I'll try to help: which phrase requires less knowledge to understand due to being self describing? does that mean it is more, equally, or less descriptive than the other? do you need to have a specific problem in order to improve something? did I ever say or even imply that there was a problem?
You are unironically doing the thing I was talking about by not noticing that I already said that about git's master branch. Master/slave is also a pretty common phrase in computing when talking about hardware, and its a pretty ugly concept when applied to humans, so I'm also not terribly surprised people chose to change their default branch name even if the association is only tangential. You wouldn't be surprised if the old name was 'ScrapedCornea' and people didn't love it. But again, its bizarre that a shift from 'master' to 'main', which is shorter, provokes this response. Do you feel personally critiqued by it somehow? Genuinely curious.
