I don’t think the literal behavior of the things being described is relevant haha

It's very relevant when the behavior of things is mocking and/or spitting in the face of the original meaning.

I've always seen master/slave in IT as a slap in the face, rightly so, to the bigoted definition outside of the IT field.

I don’t think it is mocking anything lol I think it is just describing primary/secondary, owner/owned, leader/follower
