Language does evolve. But, many of the more recent changes are because some are hyper offended, or pretend to be. I don't believe that "master" bedroom truly offends anyone. The current use just indicates the larger bedroom. The term "master" is also like "Sir" or young man in some countries. The change is more virtue signaling than natural/true language evolution.
