If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

I'll keep using master/slave. Political correctness bullshit be damned.
- Changing terminology also creates a mess and lots of confusion. I always want to check out the master branch but some people now started calling it main. I don’t mind either way but constantly changing it is horrible
  
  I have an alias that tries both names
