It's maybe a bit like the term "master" (decoupled from slave) which has very differently nonces in many countries outside of the US. Mainly it's then often not strongly (or not at all) associated with slavery or suppression of people of color.
For example the German word "Meister" is often translated as "Master" but is mainly associated with someone who became really good at a skill, i.e. who mastered it. It's also used in a context of a person who is qualified to teach some from of craft (job), through there the roots are somewhat similar as historically you complied pretty strictly with what your teacher told you.
Anyway, using more inclusive terminology for anything new doesn't cost anything and as such should be done.
Cultural translation is always a bit weird. For example, in Spanish (or at least Spain's) BDSM circles, people use the term "maestro" for "master" (despite the term meaning only "teacher" or "skilled person/virtuoso" in Spanish). I assume at some point it got badly translated and it stuck in the community.
I can't wait till 4chan weaponizes this with some innocuous term as a joke, and everyone else either goes along with it thinking it's genuine, or doesn't speak out despite the absurdity. Kind of like how they turned the "okay" hand gesture into meaning "white power". eg. https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-3c5e24b75e755aa25bd603...
