It's because they're the very basic sauces that "give birth" to all the others. It's not because it's a sauce your mother used to make.

Which is not what GP was suggesting...
Though personally it seems a silly thing to get hung up on. I'd be more worried about the fact that for many the archetypical professional cook/chef is a man, and in fact men make up something like 75% of those who choose such a career, when it's abundantly clear that there are zero biological advantages to being male as a chef.
"Ancestor sauce" works fine for that and is less pointlessly gendered.
