I think because it's a sign how social media corps have trained us to avoid certain words or even create new ones (for example "unalive" instead of "kill").
The term is algospeak, where you change your wording due to online censoring. I fucking hate that corporations have managed to literally change the way we speak.
But it's also great that humans evolve language to keep ahead of algorithms and corporate bullshit.
It shows that people internalize censorship and start doing it unprompted.
