But the prevalence of terms are still master and slave. And I really

"Political correctness" just means being considerate for other people,
especially people who do not have many of the advantages we might take for
granted.
Being considerate to others should not be associated with politics,
something the term "political correctness" is.
There is a term in Africa for those who use "especially people who do
not have many of the advantages we might take for granted" in their
sentences; it is not a particularly positive term.
Regardless of whether you consider this a political issue or not the
terminology master/slave has a poor connotation for large swathes of the
general public.
In the time we live in the change from master/slave to primary/secondary
is both justified and appropriate.
Although nobody likes to change, this is a fairly minor issue and not
deserving of complaint.
