These are technical terms. Within context, they are only emotionally
charged for people who underrate the technical meanings of those words.

Next me'll complain that cat(1) is a speciecist name for a program. Or
that biff(1) *really* is out-of-date not just in function, but also in
name, and we should change it promptly. Or that wump(6) is demeaning to
real wumpuses. Or...

Let's not go down that road, people. Please.
