No, actually, zero people 'must admit' that it was a stupid, user hostile and needlessly complexifying change.

I would say any reasonable person would have to agree that a company which didn't bother to set a standard for new repos once there are multiple common options is stupid, user hostile and needlessly complexifying. And if the company does have a standard for new repos, but for some reason you don't explain that to new engineers....

There was only a single standard before, so there was no reason why a company should make any company specific standard. The need for companies to make a standard only exists, since the master to main change, because now there are two standards.

I would argue there is still only one standard and it's main.

Except git init still creates branches named master without configuration (although with a warning), which will only change in 3.0 for obvious reasons, and tons of people (including me) still use master, and old projects don't just vanish.

Yes, and?
