> Political correctness aside, "main" does sound like a more natural name for the main branch

Sure, but who says that what is now called "master" is the main branch?

In my repos, I consider the main branch to be the branch I spend most of my time working on. For simple things that is "master", but for more complex things I'm mostly on some other branch.
