> You're free to name a Github branch "master" if you want.

The time me and many other spent finding a solution is not "free", and is not the first time that has happened or will happen.

> Others are free to pick "main". Github's free to pick a default. People are free to infer what they like from your choice.

Until Microsoft and other Big Tech companies decide that they will promote projects and developers who do.Of course they are "free" to do so, but that goes against your argument that people are "free to choose".

> Over time, we figure out which one we, as a society, prefer.

Where did "society" or the git user communities were asked and heard if that was a good idea? The decision came from the bottom up and the discussions that were had were restricted to a few posts (because "we already had that discussion before, flagged/deleted) or were incredibly censored and one-sided with accusations of racism directed at people who were using their real names and work addresses.
