It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

You are correct I swapped client with other such as worker, child, and helper,
My problem with the term “slave” is that it does not indicate there is a delegation of work going, on but rather that the subdevice is somehow fully “owned” by the master device. Whereas in reality the master is more like a manager telling a worker what to do.
In some cases the sub device is pretty much owned by the “master” device.
I’m mostly thinking of IDE since that’s the only place I ever hear anyone use master/slave except GIT where master is used.
