if you’re just trying them out, there is virtualbox…

What even is plain text anymore? If you mean ASCII, ok, but that leaves out a lot. Should it include a minimal utf-8 detector? Utf-16? The latest goofy encoding? Should zcat duplicate the functionality of file? Generally, unix-like commands do one thing, and do it well, combining multiple functions is frowned upon.

Cars are just full of “problematic” words… Leaking tranny fluid, retarded ignition…

I guarantee when the average person hears “master/slave”

This seems like projection… How do you even begin to have this much certainty about what goes on in any head beside your own?

Can’t we just change “slave” to “servant” and carry on?

Why not?
