They don't care. The meaning of the honorific is irrelevant - all significance comes from context

How about the usual honorific for ordinary men? Why didn't Mat like Elayne calling him "Master"? For the simple reason that it has nothing to do with any acknowledgement of superiority, any more than "Sedai" - in an entirely different language no less - conveys a sense of servitude.

I'll cash that check, but I doubt my bank will care much.

I think it's meant to be more like "public servant" than "household help" or "farmhand"
