While I agree with what I take to be your overall point, what would have been lost had you replaced your comment with the following, which does not assume anything about the poster's motivation?

    The utility is actually called "The Fuck", with no asterisk.  Please respect creators by not bowdlerizing the names they have chosen.

True. As the title has been updated and your version is better, I'm deleting my original comment.

I'm not sure if this is too much of a de-rail, and I will delete it if it is inappropriate, but I am constantly surprised by and grateful for the civility of HN, where, despite strong opinions, constructive criticism is often accepted and acted upon. Thank you for being part of that!
