That new master could be bad ( bypassing fluid) or you have a small leak somewhere

Odds are no. I've taken two of them back just in case. No way three of them new are bad.

I was thinking that but wouldn't that make the pedal harder instead of mushy?

The caliper needs to slide to apply the out board pad, if one or both of the slides are frozen the caliper will twist/flex under pressure, when the pedal is released it will unwind leaving an air gap.
