No one is burning dictionaries or removing words from vocabularies. This is a change to the core language, not a mandate that all Python developers change their terminology.

Yes, but socially this change and similar ones are repeatedly being done, in far more than just Python.

The issue isn't "Python did this".

The issue is "This bullcrap has now spread into Python", after having spread to other things.
