"Censorship" doesn't automatically imply "government censorship." This is absolutely Apple applying a chilling effect on its customers.

Lack of autocomplete doesn't mean you can't type something yourself and press enter.
That's different than youtube demonetizing or suspending you because you said some word in a video.

There’s also levels to censorship, like the chilling effect the other commenter noted.
Apple, evidently, does not want you to say these things. They can’t outright ban phrases due to optics, so they do this instead.

Apple is free to make their product work however they want. They're not creating laws or public utilities.
