Because it's utterly useless, stupid, out of context. Why Git, github, Azure DevOps, everyone have to change that and possibly broke backward compatibility with scripts, pipelines or who know what(yes, I can branch master from main, but why I have to?)? Why? Should we completely stop to use master word altogether?

The level of anger it seems to generate in people is completely out of proportion to the actual change. It's interesting.

Seems there's been daily ragebait articles on this issue. And what an incredibly minor issue it is too.
