GitHub is not Git.

If the Git cli tool still initializes a new repo to 'master', I'm not going to go out of my way to rename it before I push to GitHub.

I haven't seen any discussion around changing the Git cli tool.

I don't think git bans you from using a master branch, does it? It's just that their default has changed. But any other branch name will still work.
