I'm a native English speaker but I don't live in an English speaking place and my experience is that a lot of technology terms have been directly imported from English into the local language almost as-is. In my case master/slave have been directly transliterated into Japanese as masuta and sureebu and exists like that in technical documentation for example: https://www.analog.com/jp/analog-dialogue/articles/introduction-to-spi-interface.html# I can imagine that by changing terminology that has been in use for so long that it's been imported into other languages directly or is common enough that non-native speakers know what it means might have exactly the opposite result by excluding people that aren't native English speakers and can't decode synonyms that are obvious to a native speaker.
