It is actually a good strategy to dilute the term Dungeon Master into a general phrase, because that means Hasbro can't enforce their copyright. For instance, Aspirin is a brand name, but it's such a generic term that anyone in the US can call their product Aspirin without risk.
We'll have to agree to disagree! I prefer using the game's defined term, or Game Master for general usage.
Edited to add, you TTRPG players sure are a contentious people.
Don't you mean "us TTRPG people"? You're also a part of this
