You didn't hear the foaming at the mouth shouting to rename master recordings, master documents, or dub over The Master from Dr. Who.
Considering how much effort we had to out into fixing pipelines because of hardcoded scripts, and the lack of good reason to do it its no surprise that it was scoffed at. White keyboard warriors needed to make a change, but couldn't do anything meaningful as it would require actually doing something.
At least this change makes sense.

I thought the purpose of the rename was to encourage these contributions that apparently weren't happening because of the branch name?
It certainly helped GNOME whom was one of the biggest proponents /s
The purpose was to make some people feel righteous, which is the purpose of so much human activity.
