This is not correct.  Looking at just the tech industry here is a partial list of companies that are doing something:
	W3C
	Twitter (https://www.newsweek.com/twitter-engineers-new-list-coding-terms-more-inclusive-1515131)
	Android, GitHub, Splunk, UK National Security Cyber Center (https://thenewstack.io/words-matter-finally-tech-looks-at-removing-exclusionary-language/)
	RedHat (https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/qj4jqb/red-hat-audit-to-eradicate-problematic-language-in-its-code)
	IBM (https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/2DZELQ4O etc)
