Very interesting - I always thought of the etymology of "stake" as in something to gain or lose in a bet, i.e. "stake in a game".
In the end it does not matter what the wider community may think, if a group is offended by a word we can change our language easily to accommodate and move forward together.
Stakeholder translates to Dutch as "belanghebbende" which translates back to "interest holder".
