The only reason you think "master" makes sense is because you're used to it. It's actually quite a weird connection to make, if you aren't used to it. "Main" is much more straight forward. And nobody is really demanding people stop using "master", so far as I am aware, it's just that people are making that choice themselves.

I vote for naming this branch "mommy", since all other branches are it's offspring, and related to it.

GitHub, GitLab, and git itself, are all using main as the default name of the default branch, by default.

Yes that is the point. They made the choice to change their default. You can still make the choice to name your branches, especially the main one, as you like. Setting it for a project is less work than complaining about it.
