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

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
No, that's completely dependent on what you are referring too. I have never heard anyone ever referring to a server as "master" or a client as a "slave". The slave/master terminology is often used for storage. I.E. Master drive and slave drive.
Nowadays its more ofte used for server hierarchies/functionality. Or well, a lot of software is changing now. Mariadb use Source and replica.
In some cases the sub device is pretty much owned by the "master" device.
I'm mostly thinking of IDE since that's the only place I ever hear anyone use master/slave except GIT where master is used.
