What agenda, pray tell?

Since GitHub and GitLab both default to main, and Git doesn't default to anything, I'm pretty sure main being more prevalent than master is just a fact.

NB, the change from master to main isn't "silly", it's just an objectively more appropriate name. "Master" implies that the other branches are "slaves", i.e. that there is some hierarchy, which simply isn't the case. The term makes sense for IDE drives, but not Git branches. Master was an idiotic choice from day one.
