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.

Give them the same position as the people who implemented that feature and it would most likely come out worse.
