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

But why master and slave would be a problem to begin with. I'm still using it in git. I think people that have problem with it must have serious issues. It's a US American thing. Makes no sense.
Slavery is a world wide problem.
That is going to be solved by making IT nerds pretend to forget the word exists?
Hunger is also a world wide problem, doesn't stop me from saying I'm starving!
