Ya know, I remember being confused when someone first used master/slave with me. They had to explain what they meant. I can't know but I'd venture a guess that primary/secondary would've been more clear to me without an explanation. I wouldn't have intuited why it's a concept, but I would've been able to skip the initial confusion as to how any inanimate object would be called a "slave"
