I bet all the Chinese companies writing data sheets for their ICs are really giving a flying fuck about some irrelevant virtue signalling fart generators selling overpriced crap on the other side of the planet deciding to get together and whine about a couple of words. Literally just sitting there pissing themselves laughing.

It’s official. The Open Source Hardware Association has jumped the shark. SPI has been cleansed in accordance with political correctness, Master/Slave is no more.
