Because words have different weight for different people. I feel like Americans are so sensitive about words like “fuck” (and many other words). Here in the Netherlands I grew up with much more liberal use of swear words. So to me it’s way less harsh to say “fuck this rain” or something, it’s just a way to communicate my feelings about the rain, just like I’d say “kutweer” in Dutch. Saying it in a more eloquent way, i.e. “this rain is pretty suboptimal” would not accurately convey my feelings.
“Fuck” and “kut” don’t have the same weight and it’s as simple as that. I can go around saying “kanker” everything and I won’t feel a thing, because Dutch isn’t my mother tongue.
