I would say that a swearword where a swearword is due is actually effective and professional. Dancing around an issue and trying to be polite wastes time and effort, a well-placed swearword directs eyes, ears and effort to where they need to be.

It doesn't. There are words explicitly to draw attention. There's TODO and IMPORTANT and WARNING. A swear is inferior to any of these.
