Nonsense.
(1) "profanity" in modern English has drifted from its original meaning

(2) Plenty of non-"Puritanical Western Judeo-Christian" mindsets
include the divide between the sacred and the profane.
But not very many attach it to taboos against particular single words.

Great. Foist your Puritanical Western Judeo-Christian ideals on
the rest of us.
Not so. You don't have to fit that description to feel that
profanity is unproductive in a technical discussion.
