Profanity is (and importantly, always has been) an extra punctuation mark. It's an embellishment that draws people's attention; that makes something all the more memorable.

Is it required? No. Is it unreasonably effective for the character count? Yes.

And - as with most everything - folks will live a happier life ignoring profanity than trying to get the world to to stop swearing. Especially since swearing is so fucking fun.

Kinda ruins the fun when it's everywhere. I think the only time it was ever funny was those "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE" shirts, and that's only cause of negative stereotypes for the wearer.
